Unless I am thinking fuzzily, an interrupted MVCL leaves the PSW pointing to the MVCL (not past it) and the relevant registers incremented and decremented appropriately, so the supervisor may dispatch other tasks on the affected CPU, let them run as they will, and then resume the interrupted task when appropriate. The task will take off with the MVCL continuing from where it left off.
