Hi, I'm the one that Oleg referred to who had this issue on an E5-1630 CPU. It turns out, that I actually /cannot/ reproduce it with a Fedora 25 live CD (before and after an update of glibc)!
I don't normally use Fedora on this machine, I originally encountered the problem with Ubuntu 16.04 (which has glibc 2.23 and not 2.24 as Fedora 25) -- there it is perfectly reproducible with Oleg's code, with very similar timings to the ones that Oleg reported.
This is very confusing, I can try with a Fedora 24 live CD as well, but Oleg seems to be able to reproduce it on Fedora 25, so...
