In the following chunk of code from cp1emu.c:

Ah, well that would rather change things, and you *would* get an
exception there.  As written, the code doesn't seem to allow the pending
exception (.._X) bits to be cleared by the CTC.
Nevertheless, that's not the problem.
Maybe it is.
OK, sorry to have been looking at this in fits and starts, but indeed, I submit that the bug is indeed in that ctc_op: case of the emulator. The Cause bits (17:12) are supposed to be writable by that instruction, but the CTC1 emulation won't let them be updated by the instruction. I don't have the means to generate, test, and submit a proper patch, but I think that actually if you just completely removed lines 387-388:


value &= (FPU_CSR_FLUSH | FPU_CSR_ALL_E | FPU_CSR_ALL_S | 0x03);
ctx->fcr31 &= ~(FPU_CSR_FLUSH | FPU_CSR_ALL_E | FPU_CSR_ALL_S |0x03);

Things would work a good deal better. At least, it would be a more accurate emulation of the architecturally defined FPU. If I wanted to be really, really pedantic (which I sometimes do), I'd also protect the reserved bits that aren't necessarily writable, so we'd nuke those two lines, then have

/* Don't write reserved bits, and convert to ieee library modes */
ctx->fcr31 = (value & ~0x1c0003) | ieee_rm[value & 0x3];

Note that I've changed the existing |= to a direct assignment here.

Hope this helps.
