So any idea why this is happening? I looked at the manual and it clearly
says that CPSR.F does not play any role on the normale side, given that
SCR.FW=0 which I guess must be the case. What's running on the secure
side in this case?

If the security extension is there but you do not want to use it, just
run as it would not be there. In this case you'd be running on the
secure side. If you do not launch a normal side you do not need to care
about the TZ specifics.
