That seems very strange, something else must be going on that causes the grief.
The 8259 will be built into to the one of the cpu support chips.
I can't imagine that requires anything special.

It's not as though you have a real 8259 - which even a 286 can
break the inter-cycle recovery on (with the circuit from the
application note).
