Thanks Dan. I could reproduce it a while ago and I have the full patch below
- but I couldn't run it on real hardware just to do some sanity check and it
seems I'll have to wait for a while longer.

Putting it down here in case Peter fancies picking it up. I'll be posting it
along with other fixes in this area as soon as I get chance to run them
somewhere.
