Hm. I was not able to trigger this and don't see anything obviuous what can
lead to this kind of missmatch :-/

I found one more bug: clearing of PageTail can be visible to other CPUs
before updated page->flags on the page.

I don't think this bug is connected to what you've reported, but worth
testing.
