As Claudio pointed out to me, that must have been a temporary glitch -
maybe the GPU was in other use at that time. Here's what I am getting
now that I rerun the test:
$ ./john -test -form=sha512crypt-opencl
Device 1: gfx900 [Radeon RX Vega]
Benchmarking: sha512crypt-opencl, crypt(3) $6$ (rounds=5000) [SHA512 OpenCL]... LWS=256 GWS=262144 (1024 blocks) DONE
Speed for cost 1 (iteration count) of 5000
Raw: 129453 c/s real, 5242K c/s virtual
Even forcing it to LWS=64 (which it had autotuned to before), I get
almost the same better speed:
$ LWS=64 ./john -test -form=sha512crypt-opencl
Device 1: gfx900 [Radeon RX Vega]
Benchmarking: sha512crypt-opencl, crypt(3) $6$ (rounds=5000) [SHA512 OpenCL]... LWS=64 GWS=262144 (4096 blocks) DONE
Speed for cost 1 (iteration count) of 5000
Raw: 127875 c/s real, 4032K c/s virtual
which is reasonable scaling from:

Vega 64 is a twice larger GPU at 1.5x higher clock rate than Tahiti, so
a ~3x difference is expected.
