They only work on x86 processors, almost by definition: SSE stands for
a certain instruction set. So one would need to check whether the problem
occurs for other architectures. I would assume that it happens on all 32
bit architectures, in particular armhf. Their code is too fragile: One
should not rely on fine details of the processor architecture or instruction
set to hope for an expected rounding behaviour.
