Your assumption is incorrect, unfortunately. My research shows it works in 0.209 (tested dendego), so your commit linked would have already happened.
Actual breakage seems to stem, in testing, around the big core M68000 reconstruction:

Unless for some reason there are multiple issues, I only chose one set because you've claimed "all sets in".

I updated my report stating the two games I tested that did this behavior. I'm kind of curious if other games that used an m68k cpu in different drivers broke from the big rewrite?

I'd like to hope most issues were caught in regression testing shortly after the initial commit. That's my main task for MAME - performing all sorts of regression testing largely looking for changes of video/audio behavior of the first 10 seconds of an emulated run where most issues tend to pop up, logging snapshot and wavdata hashes for comparisons to previous tests. Sadly, stuff like this which is longer into the emulation can only be found through manual checking.

The point at which dangcurv runs off the rails (not dendego's rails) in 0.210 and later appears to be the CINVA DATA instruction at PC = 00082724. This results in an F-line exception which shouldn't occur here.
