Ah, I've just stumbled across something.
src/mainboard/tyan/s2912_fam10/romstage.c:sio_setup does:

byte = pci_read_config8(PCI_DEV(0, MCP55_DEVN_BASE+1 , 0), 0x7b);
  byte |= 0x20;
  pci_write_config8(PCI_DEV(0, MCP55_DEVN_BASE+1 , 0), 0x7b, byte);

It appears that the offending RES_PCI_IO line is not so much hanging the
system as disabling the serial console.  Furthermore, the reason this
does not happen when using pio-based config space accesses seems to be
that several functions, for instance precisely sio_setup, are using
pci_read/write_config before init_cpus has run and thus begore the
MMCONF BAR is set up.  This means these accesses are effectively ignored
when MMCONF is enabled.  Some of these are apparently required for the
RES_PCI_IO in question to be set without affecting the serial output.

Rather than hunt around and try to change all config accesses that might
run before init_cpus to explicit pio-accesses, I've moved the BAR init
to run as early as possible, in cache_as_ram.  With this change, I can
re-insert the RES_PCI_IO wihtout ill effects.
