Just for the list archive, I guess, I am replying to my own mail...

Since about one hour ago a fix for the hipe bug in OTP R14B02 I 
mentioned in my mail is part of OTP's 'dev' version available on github.

For those interested in trying it, here is the relevant link:

https://github.com/erlang/otp/commit/745c4af40595c8b029c2d61ddbe22c6d12950236

Thanks to Sverker Eriksson for identifying and fixing this!

Please do report any problem you experience related to execution of 
native code. At the time of this writing, I am not aware of any other 
outstanding bugs.
