soft-float was a red herring, translate.c is at fault here (interpreter
does not use it, hence behaved correctly)

translate.c:3009
if (b1 >= 2 && ((b >= 0x50 && b <= 0x5f) ||
                b == 0xc2)) {
    /* specific case for SSE single instructions */
    if (b1 == 2) {
        /* 32 bit access */
        gen_op_ld_T0_A0[OT_LONG + s->mem_index]();
        gen_op_movl_env_T0(offsetof(CPUX86State,xmm_t0.XMM_L(0)));
    } else {
        /* 64 bit access */
        gen_ldq_env_A0[s->mem_index >> 
2](offsetof(CPUX86State,xmm_t0.XMM_D(0)));
    }
} else {
    gen_ldo_env_A0[s->mem_index >> 2](op2_offset);
}

cvttps2dq is 0x5b(b=0x5b) with repn prefix (b1=2) the above code is optimized
a bit more than it should have been, as it loads only 4 bytes into xmm_t0
instead of 16.
