One specific set-up I was concerned about is as follows:

  1) hardware implements both zabha and zacas
  2) toolchain supports both zabha and zacas
  3) CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZABHA=y and CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZACAS=n

Since CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZABHA=y, the first asm goto will get executed
and, since the hardware implements zacas, that will result in a nop.
Then the second asm goto will get executed and, since the hardware
implements zabha, it will result in the j zabha.  In conclusion, the
amocas instruction following the zabha: label will get executed, thus
violating (the semantics of) CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZACAS=n.  IIUC, the diff
I've posted previously in this thread shared a similar limitation/bug.
