Crikey, that's not much fun. My last idea is to try sticking an isb
instruction in there. Does that make any difference?

Can you get access to another 370 board and see if the problem reproduces
there? Is there any possibility of getting JTAG (again, perhaps on a
different board)?

Failing that, I think you need to pester the CPU guys and/or the board guys
to help you debug this.
