In these instructions, the 0x67 prefix applies to the address prefix.
The address prefix should be extracted from the register operand, similar
to

     if (i.tm.operand_types[0].bitfield.instance == Accum
          || i.operands == 1)
        {
          /* The address size override prefix changes the size of the
             first operand.  */
          if (flag_code == CODE_64BIT
              && i.op[0].regs->reg_type.bitfield.word)
            {
              as_bad (_("16-bit addressing unavailable for `%s'"),
                      i.tm.name);
              return 0;
            }

          if ((flag_code == CODE_32BIT
               ? i.op[0].regs->reg_type.bitfield.word
               : i.op[0].regs->reg_type.bitfield.dword)
              && !add_prefix (ADDR_PREFIX_OPCODE))
            return 0;
        }
