It shouldn't be. The "stop_rxtx failed" error is because either
CSR5_TS or CSR5_RS are still set in CSR5. This means the chip
thinks the transmit or receive protocol engines are still running.

What I suspect is the state isn't "running" by rather some other
"hung" state caused by failed (lack of) link. This has been reported
before but I've not looked that closely yet.

I might. I first have to stare at the tulip programmers guide a while
sort.
