I do see similar behaviour with every -current 32-bit binaries,
compiled with `cc -m32', on my up-to-date amd64 machine.

njoly@lanfeust [~]> echo "int main() { return 0; }" >dummy.c
njoly@lanfeust [~]> cc -m32 -o dummy dummy.c 
njoly@lanfeust [~]> file ./dummy
dummy: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically 
linked (uses shared libs), for NetBSD 5.99.7, not stripped
njoly@lanfeust [~]> ./dummy 
zsh: bus error (core dumped)  ./dummy
njoly@lanfeust [~]> echo $?
138

But only with dynamically linked programs, static ones works
flawlessly.

njoly@lanfeust [~]> cc -m32 -static -o dummy dummy.c
njoly@lanfeust [~]> file ./dummy
dummy: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically 
linked, for NetBSD 5.99.7, not stripped
njoly@lanfeust [~]> ./dummy 
njoly@lanfeust [~]> echo $?
0
