The hw spec is vague, in my opinion. Does this WA apply to only
preceding "rendering operations" to *this* depth buffer? To *any* depth
buffer? To *any* render target at all?

And, does the hiz clear op reset the WA condition? That is, if two
sucessive 3DPRIMITIVEs perform a hiz clear op, does the hw require the
WA before the second one? After all, no true "rendering operations"
occurred between the two.

Ahhhhhh! Why does the specification fail to specify???

Anyway, I convinced myself that genX(blorp_exec) emits the requested
bits before the problematic 3DPRIMITIVE.
