It seems to me that the C extension can be enabled at any point, since if C is off, you know that the next insn is aligned modulo 4. It is only if the C extension is enabled, and you want to disable it, that is when we must check to see if the next insn is aligned mod 4. It is trivial to arrange for a particular instruction to be aligned, via assembler directives. So it seems silly to make the definition of the csr write to misa any more complicated than it is. You are right that the existing code is broken, in that it is checking the alignment of the host PC and not the guest PC.
