So it's a bug in the sata_nv.c port driver.

In particular, I see this in the bug report:

That looks a bit strange, because the driver goes to some effort
to prevent these kind of commands from ever being issued "in ADMA mode",
precisely because there's no way to do a tf_read in that mode.

Mmm.. buggy somewhere in there.
