bjorn3 commented on Issue #2496:
The problem here as far as I understand it is that for 8bit operations there are registers for which it is not allowed to omit the rex prefix even if a plain rex prefix without any bits set is used. Normally the
rex
prefix would be considered as unused in this case. In any case using the 32bit variant avoids a potential partial register stall.

Honestly, it is probably too much work (on legacy code) to change the
infer_rex
stuff to understand which registers need REX prefixes for this specific instruction but I'll leave it up to @bnjbvr.
