Yes:

#define T_ALIGN         0x034   /* (10) address not properly aligned */

Here's the code in trap.c that's faulting:

                        {
                                char sb[sizeof(PSTATE_BITS) + 64];

                                printf("trap type 0x%x: cpu %d, pc=%lx",
                                       type, cpu_number(), pc);
                                snprintb(sb, sizeof(sb), PSTATE_BITS, 
pstate);
                                printf(" npc=%lx pstate=%s\n",
                                       (long)tf->tf_npc, sb);
                                DEBUGGER(type, tf);
                                panic("%s", type < N_TRAP_TYPES ? 
trap_type[type] : T);
                        }

The first printf succeeds, but the snprintb() does not and somehow it 
generates a text access fault... unless the text fault is on another CPU.  
You might want to add the CPU# to the text_access_fault spew.
