I extracted a rather simple test case:

$ echo >> testcase .s << EOF
        .set    mips3
        dli     $2, 0x9000000080000000
EOF
$ mips-linux-as -mips3 -march=r4600 -o testcase.o testcase.s
testcase.s: Assembler messages:
testcase.s:2: Error: number (0x9000000080000000) larger than 32 bits
$ mips-linux-as -mips4 -march=vr5000 -o testcase.o testcase.s
$

I can trigger the error message with vanilla 2.25 and 2.26 but not 2.24.
