Or something that the MS interpreter allows and the stringent Intel one
does not.

This might be fixable ... its overrunning a region definition which could
be a simple bug that could be fixed by extracting the DSDT, convert to
ASL, fix, recompile, and override. Of course you have to know ASL :)

You should probably pester MSI and claim Linux has the same issue.  The
magic L word might wake them up.

If you want to be extra neat, use acpidump to extract the dsdt and in
bundle that with your dmesg into a tarball I can download.
