Um, well, duh, turns out I had the ROM BIOS set to hand IRQ 11 over to
PCI/PnP.  Changing that setting to allocate the IRQ (and DMA channel
5) to ISA/EISA (and changing the card back to IRQ 11) also solved the
problem.  Why it worked for IRQ 9 (which is set the same way) is a
mystery to me.

Thanks to Warner for dropping that hint.
