I haven't been able to reproduce the problem on aarch64 and my current
guess is that it is specific to x86 and should have been resolved with
HJ's patch for #21391.  I'll start a separate conversation for this with
my observations so far but unless you're able to reproduce the failure
on aarch64, I don't see a reason for it to block this patchset.
