Well, I finally got this issue resolved, by using a newer compiler.
I debugged really hard but couldn't find what's wrong in the code. After all, I added NEON intrinsics the same way as I added AltiVec intrinsics, yet nothing went wrong on POWER. I doubted if the compiler was causing some trouble under the hood, so I tried to build JtR with a newer gcc (gcc 4.7.3, cross-compiling, didn't bother to manually build gcc for ARM). The newly built binary worked just fine.
I'm really not sure if it's some bug in gcc 4.6 for ARM, or it's some undefined behavior in JtR that happened to work with the newer gcc. Anyway, here's the comparison of JtR's performance with and without using NEON, cross-compiled with the new compiler:
(NOTES: processor model is Tegra K1; vroti is emulated with 2 instructions; OpenMP disabled; no interleaving involved; unaligned accesses are not tended yet)
