OK, confirmed it as a bug in NASM 0.98.39; the bug was fixed in
NASM 0.99.06.  Since NASM 0.99.x were an experimental alpha series, this
means that the oldest supportable NASM is currently 2.00.  I will put a
test in the header to test for that.

For those who are interested, the fix is NASM commit
b0e1d423dd3e174a92a1d7256aec4e9b701ece3c.
