I don't know anything about this type of thing, so it might be completely
unrelated, but the exact same error started appearing in 64-bit F13, when
running memtest86+ from the default grub entry created by memtest-setup.  I've
run 64-bit F10, F11, and F12 on the same machine without ever seeing it before.
 It can be made to work in F13, but only by editing the grub entry.
