Also, this is usually a sign of something that is dependent on microarchitecture behaviour that is not guaranteed anywhere including the machines where it "works."

This is especially true for software that don't even have a reason for architecture-specific hacks, like a note-taking app.

Basically, thousands of apps work fine on all architectures, and this one doesn't, so this is clearly a bug in the app. Whether it really works on x86, we don't know, it might just not trigger the problem in a detectable way, and when released to users, silently lose their data.

Removal from testing is entirely warranted, IMO.
