Note that the decoder warns here because the shorter length is not valid
if you believe what's in the spec. It could actually work ok if the CS
hardware respects the length field, don't go fetch the missing dword,
and, as we're not using it, doesn't care too much (which seems to be the
case as we correctly jump to the next instruction). But not quite sure
how well defined this is.
