Just guessing: doesn't the LA of DOGETS set the high-order bit? >Thus, the adressing mode will not be set to 24-bit...
LA does never set the high order bit. It always clears all high order bits not being used in the current addressing mode (only in the low half of the 64 general purpose register, to be precise).
