I was able to reproduce it from other interrupts handler (UART, I2C,
timer and watchdog) no difference if it is PPI or SPI interrupt. I
also reproduce this issue with GICv3. But again it only happens when
eoimode = 0.

Yes it can be triggered by sending sysrq + c and indeed it is the
easiest way to reproduce it.

I think that by default Juno uses eoimode = 1, did you try it when
eoimode was forced to be 0? Only eoimode = 0 triggers the issue.

Thank you,
