The PHIR pasted below expresses the following logic:

  1. Initialize one qubit register "q", classical registers "a" and "t", all of size 1.
  2. If t[0] == 0, apply R1XY(0.6366197723675814*pi, 0) to q[0].
  3. Apply R1XY(3.3633802276324185*pi, 0) to q[0].
  4. Measure q[0] to a[0].

Since t[0] == 0 initially, and 0.6366197723675814 + 3.3633802276324185 = 4, both R1XY gates should be applied and should cancel, so the final measurement in a[0] should be zero.

However, when run 100 times with the statevector simulator the result is a mixture of 0s and 1s.

The angles used here are (in radians) 2 and 4*pi - 2. When 1.9 and 4*pi - 1.9 are used, the results are as expected (all zero).
