Is there any indication in some other CPUID leaf which lets us deduce this
wreckage?

I don't think the hypervisor space (0x40000xx) has anything helpful, but
staring at the architectural ones provided by hyper-V to the guest might
give us an hint. Can you provide a cpuid dump for the boot CPU please?
