cannot comment on the first sentence, but for the latter I am sure
that some intructions are missing. It's been a couple of years
since I worked on this code, so I have forgotten the details, but
I remember adding some 286 instructions and some are still missing.
ENTER/LEAVE are probably two of them, maybe PUSHALL/POPALL as well.

The fact that some program recognizes the emulated processor as a V20
does not mean that all V20 instructions are emulated!
