It appears to mostly fix it, yes.  The remaining hanging seems like it's
maybe a kernel hang?

It does seem to imply that, yes.  In GL, we just pull out the big hammer
and surrournd every HZ op with that pipe control on both ends regardless of
what kind of HiZ op it is.  I know I found cases in GL where these sorts of
flushes are needed around ambiguates as well.

Probably?  But I don't think that's related.  The hang I observed was with
a depth resolve immediately followed by a fast clear.

 I'm happy to add some comments.  We just need to decide how big of a
hammer to use.  Like I said above, in GL we pull out a pretty big one.
