The behavior that is described here sounds like a platform firmware bug 
to me.  Are you on the latest BIOS available from your OEM?

Can you please confirm:

1. Your CPU model number/codename
2. Your OEM (from /sys/class/dmi/id)
3. OEM BIOS version (from /sys/class/dmi/id)
4. AGESA version (see commit bc91133e260c8113c1119073c03b93c12aa41738 if 
the OEM didn't tear it out.  Otherwise look in BIOS menus)?
