That's actually a gas bug, introduced when the gas people tightened up their requirements, and they seem to have tightened them a bit too much. The 16-bit register is actually the correct one in 16-bit mode, and a 32-bit register is very much not correct.
Who maintains gas these days? We'll make the kernel use the 32-bit register to work around the gas bug for now, but it definitely IS a gas bug, and it would be good to get it fixed.
