By checking the config file from the bugzilla, ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER is set to 9,
(SECTION_SIZE is 24 and 64KB page is used, so 9+16=25>24) but it should be 8
after recent MAX_ORDER changes. I guess the user was using an old config file.

Changing ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER to 8 in the config should fix the issue.
