I think there's a bug in qemu's x86 emulation with respect to mis-reporting the eip of an xchg which faults,
which may be what you're seeing.

The eip that was reported was always the same, and there was no xchg instruction at that address. It might have been consistently wrong though (how would I figure this out?).

The symptom I've observed is that qemu reports the first instruction of the basic block rather than the exchange itself. If you "x/10i <fault eip>", you should see an xchg before long.

Either way, sounds like a qemu bug which should be reported to them.
