Sometimes but not always a method that is inlined is also separately compiled.  For some reason, which is probably unimportant to application performance, the dynamic compiler has chosen to separately compile some, but not all, of your routines.

There are many actions taken by the JVM which are arbitrary, which for which the explanation would not be interesting.  Heuristics for NP-hard problems (like optimal inlining) are going to produce puzzling outcomes sometimes.

Wait for the bug fix, and see what happens.  The hsdis-print-bytes bytes is what it sounds like:  A non-mandatory option to dump the raw bytes of the instructions, as well as the symbolic disassembly.
