I'd tend to guess that what happens is that some interrupt was disabled
before the spl() call but got triggered and is thus pending. As soon as
spl() enables it, the chipset actually raises the interrupt, the CPU
enters the interrupt handler, etc. and somehow that handler doesn't
properly restore the stack (i.e. the bug would not be in spl() at all,
but in some interrupt handler).

How do you route interrupts from GNU Mach to the user-level driver?
