No, it was many kernel compile since...

I tried to reproduce on my current kernel, and now I don't hit it.  But
I hit this instead (which is NOT related to your code):

This is a kernel based on DaveM's net-next at commit 89d256bb69f259
("bpf: disallow bpf tc programs access current->pid,uid").

Thus, I might be missing some fix commits from other trees?!?
