Well that was frustrating. I spent most of yesterday going round and round in circles trying to understand a complex bit of decoding logic, before eventually finding the mistake on the schematic which was making all my subsequent logic terms wrong.
Thanks Acorn Computers 😩

Further examination shows that all the right-facing XORs are incorrect, but there's a left-facing one with the correct symbol. 😄
