Interesting question, but the problem at hand is pure z/OS.

Do any of z/TPF, z/VM or z/VSE ever run in ESA mode?

Would using some "debug" type utility to store a non-zero value at address 4
be a partial circumvention?

The pre-Z restart PSW is never used for anything now -- is that correct?

  Location 4 means address 4 (i.e. offset 4 in the PSA).

 There was a latent bug from a prior release in the loop control
code so that it was erroneously fetching from address 4, and
behaving especially badly when the data at that location
is x'00000000', which it is as of z/OS 2.5.  In prior releases,
it was x'000130E1' when in zArchitecture mode.
