CLONE -QAction::softKeyRole function misbehaves in Symbian Emulator binary

QAction::softKeyRole returns a wrong value when QAction::NegativeSoftKey is set.
This only happens with the emulator binaries provided in the qt-symbian-opensource-4.7.0-rc1-s60.exe, the target build does not have this problem.

Example code:

QAction* action = new QAction(this);
action->setSoftKeyRole(QAction::NegativeSoftKey);

QAction::SoftKeyRole role = action->softKeyRole(); // returns -2
if(action->softKeyRole() != QAction::NegativeSoftKey)

As a consequence it's not possible to bind an action to the right softkey.

In the disassembly the code looks wrong:

0x013b4a43 <QAction::softKeyRole>: mov eax,dword ptr [eax+0x9c]
0x013b4a49 <QAction::softKeyRole+6>: sal eax,0x11
0x013b4a4c <QAction::softKeyRole+9>: sar eax,0x1e
}
0x013b4a4f <QAction::softKeyRole+12>: leave
0x013b4a50 <QAction::softKeyRole+13>: ret near

Why is this a "shift arithetically right" instead of a logical shift? Compiler/build issue?
