This seems to have fixed itself:

May 23 kernel: fails
May 24 kernel: works
May 28 kernel: works

For the failing case, the FPU seems to be working properly but no CPU
exception 16 is received for the unmasked FPU exception, and CR0_TS is
in an unusualy state (not set) at the end of another test program.
