It is indeed just an optimization, and we could in theory switch
between the two versions on a case-by-case basis, but we don't have
any sane way to really do that.
I'll try to see if I can reproduce this on my hardware (just applying
that patch on top of my own tip) and see if I can try to narrow things
down. But I looked at the assembly for a couple of files, and it all
looked good, and I know this patch works fine for others (ie all the
normal -tip testing), so I suspect it's something specific to what
Fengguang does.
