In other words it's at least obvious that it varies with compiler
version. One can argue about where the bug is, compiler or bn_nist.c,
but it's not matter of probability. Anyway as I can't reproduce the
problem you'd have to assist.

For reference. Why does it show up with no-asm? bn_nist.c is collection
of functions for specific moduli, but it's perfectly possible to
calculate the result using general-purpose subroutines. It was found
that general-purpose *assembly* code paths deliver better performance
and it was arranged so that bn_nist is not invoked in asm builds (look
for #if defined(OPENSSL_BN_ASM_MONT) in crypto/ec/ec_cvt.c).

> After patch:

Could you test following *instead*? In every #if defined(NIST_INT64)
section you'll see a number of references to bp[something]. Can you
replace them with buf.ui[samething] and run the test? Currently bp is
constified buf.ui and it might give overeager compiler idea to reorder
references to buf in #if defined(NIST_IN64) section and [inlined]
nist_cp_bn_0 and cause the mayhem.
