Still not sure what is going on but I found a work-around that somebody else 
might find useful.

The mov instruction is able to work with 64-bit values successfully so the 
value that is larger than
32 bits can be placed in a register and the register used for the operation. 
Here are few examples.

     void main()
     {
         asm
         {
             mov   RAX,0x1ffffffffUL;
             mov   R8,0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUL;
             and   R8,RAX;
             xor   R8,RAX;
             or    R8,RAX;
             add   R8,RAX;
             sub   R8,RAX;
             cmp   R8,RAX;
         }
     }

And their disassembly (excluding the nonessentials).

     mov RAX,01FFFFFFFFh
     mov R8,0FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFh
     and R8,RAX
     xor R8,RAX
     or  R8,RAX
     add R8,RAX
     sub R8,RAX
     cmp R8,RAX

The only downside of the work-around is that there is already pressure on the 
limited number of
registers in x64. Some shuffling might be required.
