I've been doing some further tests and it seems that it doesn't have to
do much with whether the descrambler is implemented as a hierarchical
block or not.

In some other flowgraphs I have I've replaced the descrambler
hierarchical block by its "contents" and the problem with the first bit
being wrong after a reset persists.

Perhaps something about the scheduler?
