I did some research. Both chips are not able to work with a crystal above 12 MHz. I suspect the second one was signed for frequency 20 MHz by a mistake..

This is the first time when PIC marked -20/P refused to work at 20 MHz. I asked only if someone had the same experience. Tried the second one (-4/P) to assure myself the fuses are well programmed.
