I built a small test with the above encoding and I see no issue.
Can you check that the address (of RDX+0x40) is indeed a legal address?
Can you reproduce this issue with a small test case?

Thanks.

I did of course check that RDX+40h points to a valid address. I'll attach the tiny sample I've been using (consisting of a C and an assembly file, object created from which need to be linked together). Perhaps it once again matters what hardware SDE gets run on? It's a Sandybridge era laptop in my case, and not being allowed to go to the office right now I have nothing else to check against for now.

This report uncover fundamental issue in the emulation of the instruction.
We will provide new kits with a fix for it soon.
Thanks for reporting this problem.
