Huh. I can see a lot of potential for hardware misbehavior here...

Making things 1-wide makes a lot of sense, regardless of the bug you're
seeing. I'm in favor of that change.

I picked a SEL instead of a predicated MOV instruction since the latter
is considered by our optimizer to be a partial write, and as such isn't
subject to CSE, etc. The difference is probably trivial, but I'd rather
just commit a patch to change things to be 1-wide, not s/SEL/MOV/, and
drop the added comments from the code.

Assuming that still fixes the bug you see, that would be
