I have just updated two contexts to -r315870 just a bit ago
and they both got that behavior as well:

A) An amd64 context (FreeBSD client in VirtualBox under macOS)
B) An arm64 context (pine64+ 2GB with -mcpu=cortex-a53 )

Later I'll be updating powerpc64, powerpc, and armv6 (with
-mcpu=cortex-a7 ) contexts but I'd expect they will all match
the behavior.

(I started from earlier than -r315544 so your report provides
a better lower bound -r315544. I ended earlier and so my
report provides a better upper bound -r315870.)
