snappyHexMesh fails to detect locationInMesh on ARM64 v8

Summary

snappyHexMesh produces "FOAM FATAL ERROR" when not finding the specified point inside the mesh bounding box on ARM64 (v8) architecture for /some/ configurations of coordinates. A small change in coordinates - either locationInMesh or bounding box coordinates produces expected results, i.e. snappyHexMesh run completes without errors. This behaviour is reproducable for OpenFOAM-v1912 and OpenFOAM-v2012 on ARM64 (v8) AARCH64. Effects of compiler flags in wmake/rules and unsafe-math or fast-math optimizations for gcc have already been ruled out by testing and eliminating relevant compiler options.

Steps to reproduce

Run the attached test case on ARM64 v8 with either OpenFOAM-v1912 or OpenFOAM-v2012. OpenFOAM-8 on ARM64 v8 is not affected.

$ blockMesh && snappyHexMesh

Example case

Attached.

What is the current bug behaviour?

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: Point (0 0 73) is not inside the mesh or on a face or edge. Bounding box of the mesh:(-600 -600 -4.5588) (600 600 160)

From function static Foam::labelList Foam::refinementParameters::findCells(bool, const Foam::polyMesh&, const pointField&)
in file snappyHexMeshDriver/refinementParameters/refinementParameters.C at line 241.

FOAM exiting

What is the expected correct behavior?

snappyHexMesh finds locationInMesh and completes the meshing run without errors.
