Ambit/PKS - Timing problem

    Hiya!
    The static timing analysis of Ambit (as well as the one of Pearl)
    puzzles me. I only have positive triggered flip-flops in my design. So
    why is the first FF state_reg_1 in the delay list triggered by the
    negative clock?

    This is the timing report:

    Path 1: MET Setup Check with Pin CP/fault_detect_reg/C
    Endpoint: CP/fault_detect_reg/D (^) checked with leading edge of
    'MASTER'
    Beginpoint: WC/state_reg_1/Q (v) triggered by trailing edge of
    'MASTER'
    Other End Arrival Time 0.00
    - Setup 0.85
    + Phase Shift 40.00
    = Required Time 39.15
    - Arrival Time 38.67
    = Slack Time 0.48
