Investigate using something like this in your <arch>.opc file:

  /* Override disassembly hashing - there are variable bits in the top
     byte of these instructions.  */
  #define CGEN_DIS_HASH_SIZE 8
  #define CGEN_DIS_HASH(buf,value) (((* (unsigned char*) (buf)) >> 5) % CGEN_DIS_HASH_SIZE)

Cheers, Ben
