I tried with latest git:
commit 176efde76486dc037bb34345685d060c97bdd0d3
Author: Robert Moore 
Date:   Fri Nov 15 10:12:23 2013 -0800

Update version to 20131115.

Version 20131115.

same issue:
from disassembler output: SSDT.dsl:

External (_SB_.PCI0.ISA_, DeviceObj)
    External (BNUM)
    External (PCI0, DeviceObj)
    External (PCID)
    External (PCIU)

again PCI0 is declared after _SB_.PCI0.ISA_ so PCI0 becomes
untyped. As a result:

[mst@robin tmp]$ ../generate/unix/bin/iasl SSDT.dsl
