Ah, maybe it's trying to tell us something :-)  I vaguely remember reading
that this new syscall convention denotes failure by returning a value between
-1 and -4096 [bizarrely, like x86-32 in the earliest days of Linux].  If that's
true, it would imply that the call was passed to the kernel using the new 
convention, it failed, but we mistakenly believe, in the post-syscall handling,
that it succeeded.
