I've had a quick look and would agree with you right now.  This
appears to be a bug.

Generally speaking, there appears to be a lack of automated tests for
the cfi code.  Getting it to work right for all combinations of bus
widths, etc. is a challenge.  But automated tests would require one
device of each kind and I have no idea how to get all those.

Maybe you should just fix your special case and hope not to break
someone else.
