I started looking at the code, but I got confused rather quickly.
Could be related to endianness? I think denbcdq arrived on the scene
before little-endian was a big deal. Maybe something to do with
utilizing implicit floating-point register pairs... I don't think the
right data is getting to helper_denbcdq, which would point back to the
gen_fprp_ptr uses in dfp-impl.inc.c (GEN_DFP_T_FPR_I32_Rc). (Maybe?)
