Was this fixed in release 1.2? (The problem was that DoIO() and SendIO() would trash high registers that they weren't supposed to trash), or was the problem something else?

The problem wasn't with DoIO and SendIO specifically, it was with the device handlers. In this case one specific handler which was either the console or the serial port, it was so long ago I can't remember which. The register being tagged was D7. This HAS been fixed in 1.2.
