It fails on my Haswell chip - definitely sprinkling of red pixels.
Also the error seems to be greater than 5e-7. Even with 1.6e-6 as
failure point, it still fails, while on ppc64le it passes.
Only when I went for 2e-6, the test passes.
As I said and Roland explained, the calculation method is inherently
less accurate in the two-stages path. Although I don't know why on
SSE4.2 the deviation is a bit larger than on VMX
