please see the attached files:

working_da9ef50f545f_reverted.txt
  this is on a v6.4-rc, with da9ef50f545f reverted

not_working.txt
  v6.4-rc not working

working.txt
  v6.4-rc working


It looks like, even on cold boot, it's not working in a reliable way.
Not sure the exact difference when it's working and when it's not.
