Okay, it's definitely %ss being buggered, and the only thing that can
bugger up %ss but not %ds downstream of that code is a botched
transition out of protected mode. Rewriting all the real-mode code to
not use the stack is obviously not realistic (can't make any BIOS calls
that way), but it would be possible to dart into protected mode using
only %cs: references to set up a GDT, then setting all the segments to
sane, real-mode-like segments, and darting back out.
