Those are all vectorization tests, and they are failing because 'small' array types (4-byte-elements and smaller) no longer have their elements aligned at 8-byte-boundaries. This throws off vectorization because this only kicks in on aligned accesses. The fix is to allocate those arrays a little larger and align-up the test data to the next 8-byte-boundary. (And no, Lilliput does not break vectorization in general, but it can change the characteristics in particular cases.)

Hi Roman, was there a reason you did not follow up on this? Or just lack of time? PR looks fine to me.
