Ah, new theory - what if it is just good old-fashioned byte-clobbering?
Note addresses/sizes of #640000 +/-#10000 were all made up out of thin air.
Suppose previous versions of ld-linux were #630000 bytes but now #650000.
./p64 loads at #640000, then loads ld-linux which clobbers it and all mayhen breaks loose.
/lib64/ld-linux ./p64 loads up to #650000, then loads p64 at #640000 and all is fine.
Assumes that whatever bits of ld-linux just got smashed simply don't matter.

Sadly I've long since forgotten how to change the base load address of an ELF file...
