How about installing the fault handler early before enabling the imprecise
aborts, and have the fault handler print a complaint about the broken
boot loader, and have the fault handler uninstall itself after the
imprecise abort has been enabled?

If there's a pending imprecise abort, it should be delivered as soon as
they're unmasked.
