This is the result of issues 1. and 2. listed by Wesley in this

Because the particular bit of QEMU code which was wrongly returning
the host ENOSYS rather than the guest ENOSYS happened to be
MIPS-specific.

Yes.

I imagine because not very many people use QEMU for MIPS in
linux-user mode. Often with QEMU things work OK at the point
they were last tested, but new guest features (like this new
syscall) can cause breakage.
