OK. The docs I have don't call this out explicitly in the instruction
description and probably should given that other mips (and mips16)
instructions have delay slots.

You should say that sort of thing when you submit patches, e.g.:

"Tested on mips-elf using internal mips16e port. No regressions."

or some such.
