I don't actually think we should; the stray interrupt feature occurs 
when an edge is seen on an interrupt line, but when the latch fires 
(one or two clocks later?) there is nothing there to latch.  This is 
the way the 8259 works; PCI and APIC interrupt behaviour is still largely
a mystery to me.
