Yes. That mean iommu software or hardware is broken on your system.

I have no other ideas how to track this down. I think now, this is
a firwmare issue. BTW, you suspected that from very beginning :-)
This could be also a driver issue, but AFAICT programing DMA do not
differ on 6205 from other devices, so bug in firmware is much more
probable reason of corruption.
