Me neither, I hope the people here will guide me to find out :)

Yeah.

Well lets see. If you look at my debug outputs, I am actually tracing
the problem down to the memcpy function itself.
I suspect there is something wrong with the data cache.
memcpy misreads the correct the original and puts garbage into the copy,
which is most often a line above the original. I don't suspect burst
wrap mode or such, because too much other things work well in this mode
and both, source and copy of the memcpy function are actually in RAM
already...
