[I found a cause of the crash problem for the patched code,
or so I expect. More missing code.]

From what I can tell there is another 32-bit vs. 64 bit difference
for the following code that involves 32-bit not using
vm_page_aflag_clear(???,PGA_WRITEABLE | PGA_EXECUTABLE) where
64-bit does involve such.

Starting a trace of the issue at exec_new_vmspace . . .

int
exec_new_vmspace(struct image_params *imgp, struct sysentvec *sv)
{
        . . .
        if (vmspace->vm_refcnt == 1 && vm_map_min(map) == sv_minuser &&
            vm_map_max(map) == sv->sv_maxuser &&
            cpu_exec_vmspace_reuse(p, map)) {
                shmexit(vmspace);
                pmap_remove_pages(vmspace_pmap(vmspace));
                vm_map_remove(map, vm_map_min(map), vm_map_max(map));
. . .

The "pmap_remove_pages(vmspace_pmap(vmspace))" before the
vm_map_remove use has a very different handling for
64-bit (does something) vs. 32-bit (no-op) . . .

moea64_remove_pages is (and eventually involves vm_page_aflag_clear):

void
moea64_remove_pages(mmu_t mmu, pmap_t pm)
{
        . . .
        while (!SLIST_EMPTY(&tofree)) {
                pvo = SLIST_FIRST(&tofree);
                SLIST_REMOVE_HEAD(&tofree, pvo_dlink);
                moea64_pvo_remove_from_page(mmu, pvo);
                free_pvo_entry(pvo);
        }
}

where moea64_pvo_remove_from_page involves
vm_page_aflag_clear(????,PGA_WRITEABLE | PGA_EXECUTABLE) via:

static inline void
moea64_pvo_remove_from_page_locked(mmu_t mmu, struct pvo_entry *pvo,
    vm_page_t m)
{
                
        . . . 
        /*
         * Update vm about page writeability/executability if managed
         */
        PV_LOCKASSERT(pvo->pvo_pte.pa & LPTE_RPGN);
        if (pvo->pvo_vaddr & PVO_MANAGED) {
                if (m != NULL) {
                        LIST_REMOVE(pvo, pvo_vlink);
                        if (LIST_EMPTY(vm_page_to_pvoh(m)))
                                vm_page_aflag_clear(m,
                                    PGA_WRITEABLE | PGA_EXECUTABLE);
                }
        }
        . . .
}

But 32-bit has/uses:

        static void mmu_null_remove_pages(mmu_t mmu, pmap_t pmap)
        {
                return;
        }


so it does not involve:

    vm_page_aflag_clear(????,PGA_WRITEABLE | PGA_EXECUTABLE)

but apparently should involve such in order to pass:

               KASSERT((m->a.flags & (PGA_EXECUTABLE | PGA_WRITEABLE)) == 0,
                   ("vm_page_free_prep: mapping flags set in page %p", m));
