This is a Thumb2 guest + userspace guest. The instruction is always the
same VFP instruction, so it actually looks VFP related, not PC adjusting
as I initially thought. Doing stuff on the host seems to easily trigger
the problem on the gust.

But there's very little difference between my two trees (at least VFP
wise), hence my growing perplexity...

I'll continue investigating.
