Why did Intel decide to do that?


Most likely they didn't plan to, but it happened by accident and is obscure enough to be not worth fixing. I would agree with
them that it's not worth fixing.

Yes, I have come to understand that this is merely a case of Intel documenting that an "undocumented" instruction doesn't behave in a useful or consistent way.

My apologies for delving into this pointless discussion.
