 Translation caching is evil in general :-)  If there's a reasonable
 way to do so, check if the oddities occur immediately after exception
 return. Also, just for fun, check if 0x802b73fc contains a jump or
 branch instruction. The interactions between branch delay slots, page
 crossings, exception returns, and mmu lookups have broken more than
 one mips implementation...
 
 (pass this on if you feel so inclined, not in a position to send it
 directly)
