 Hmm, I missed the patch going by, and the transition to feedback was
 before the testcase was provided.  The problem still exists in HEAD as
 of a day or two ago, so this is not fixed.
 
 [Huh.  I didn't realize a 64-bit integer could be misaligned when
 placed within a struct that didn't specify packedness.  This is a
 property of x86_field_align, in case anyone else gets confused looking
 at this testcase.  I've learned my one thing for today.]
