This seems to work:

diff --git a/opcodes/i386-dis.c b/opcodes/i386-dis.c
index 685e968..ed79d92 100644
--- a/opcodes/i386-dis.c
+++ b/opcodes/i386-dis.c
@@ -12275,7 +12275,7 @@ case_L:
   case 'T':
     if (!intel_syntax
         && address_mode == mode_64bit
-        && (sizeflag & DFLAG))
+        && ((rex & REX_W) || (sizeflag & DFLAG)))
       {
         *obufp++ = 'q';
         break;

We need to update some testcases.
