Yes, it does.  It's a longword filler, just like you expect.

AWRD means "align the next thing on a word boundary".  Seems to, anyway.
There is an ALNG, but ABYT would serve no purpose.

More precisely, LSTC is the beginning of a list, which should be preceded
by a (two-byte) ZCNT or OCNT count.  LSTZ starts a list that is terminated
by a zero byte.

These are all guess-and-check deductions, I still don't have any documentation.
