Hmm, so it could also depend on the randomized offset as it is getting
generated anew each boot. So you could try to boot a couple of times
to see if the randomized offset is generated just right for the bug
condition to match.
I mean, it would be great if you try a couple times but even if you're
unsuccessful, that's fine too - the fix is obviously correct and I've
confirmed that it boots fine in my VM here.

That looks good.
Thanks!
