SVCs do not architecturally have this restriction.

Given what I know in general (not specific to USS), I would not make the assumption that "...because the SVC 144 routine uses register 14 to exit" is true. It might be true that a modification to register 14 is lost, but this is not the reason. Conceivably the designer/coder of that routine that it was true, but that doesn't make it true.

I'll see if I can track down someone who knows.
