I am aware of this issue, but I have no idea if this is the same or
another issue. It says:

What I saw here is that there was one word more than expected in the RX
FIFO. Since both RX and TX FIFO act synchronously it could be that the
additional word in the RX FIFO was caused by an additional word in the
TX FIFO as described above.
