it reminds me a bug in my old emulator...
I got almost the same message.

it was due to an error in my emulation of rol/ror or lsr.
I think it was impacting the normalization routine.


for the synertek component I dont really remember the bugs
but each time we had a strange problem we replace the synertek with a 
mos or rockwell component.

the sy6551 was really bugged and not generating the irq properly.

for the 6522 it was said that it was better to not use a synertek one....
I dont remember the reason...

I dont if these bugs have been fixed and when.
