Wow, you did it by yourself...

Yes, in general tackling interpreter version first is a good practice.
And in case of arm, it is better next to tackle jit1 rather than jit3,
since I still did not fix register allocation bug in jit3.

Yes, I noticed this is the place why it goes wrong. And then, I just
simply leave it. Thanks to investigate why this problem happens.
Similar problem happens for m68k implementations, and my feeling is
doulbe support are not thoroughly tested except for ia32 arch :-<

Finally, I purchase ARM-9 based machines (mainly to debug NetBSD ports
of kaffe) and I will check again with real machine whether floating to
double conversion does not really work or not. If I noticed some differences
between real hardware and QEMU, we have to file bug for QEMU.

Yes, of course.
