Ahh, I had an older version.

Looking at the latest one I can find (325462-065US), it does specify
that it has a modrm byte:

  0F FF /r   UD0 1 r32, r/m32

so I think that our opcode maps are wrong, and it's a bit dangerous to
put random constants right after the UD0.

Maybe we should make our use of UD0 have a third byte: add a harmless
modrm byte before the warning constants?

But yes, at least my objdump just thinks it's a bad 2-byte sequence,
and doesn't look at any modrm bytes at all.
