As i understand the v700 connection - it is FCP encaptulated in FICON. So I assuem that the actual transmission from zVM to the channel subsystem (the trace output) would be FICON protocol not FCP. The actual device would see the FCP after it has been stripped of the FICON wrapper by the switch.
If I am correct in the above - does the Ubuntu build support this? Is this where the problem lies!?

I do not know where the CCW 0x66 comes from. The bootloader only uses 0x06, 0x41, 0x42, 0x43 and 0x63 for FBA.
Also I was unable to reproduce this issue on my system but one of our tester reported he was able to do so.
I will try to investigate what happens.
