It is still an 8520, and I was wondering the same thing about the firmware.

That was my thought too, especially since I was able to get the same "bug" to appear on the 2004 RC. I am thinking it might occur when the user processor "confuses" the master processor by sending bad data because of interrupts interfering with PutData(). Just a guess.

EDIT:
DeviceNull, I did some snooping and I think you may be right about the encryption, although there's no way to be absolutely sure. There sure are a lot of unsubstatiated rumors about that AC to RC link floating around!

If it's falling apart it's a mechanical problem. If it's spewing smoke it's a electrical problem.
If it's rampaging around destroying things it's a programming problem.
