In this case it was just trivial gdb. Compile with -g -O0 and make it segfault:

(gdb) r bigtest.rawmd5 -form:raw-md5-opencl -mask=?A?A?A?A

(gdb) print i
$1 = 32767

Checked what size partial_hashes was allocated for, and in this case it was just 4096. Gotcha. Hardest part for me was to understand the totally different use of partial_hashes in mask mode.
