Actually this bug never applied to a 16F chip as far as I know.  I deal with
this in my PIC development environment by setting INTR_OFF_BUG to 1 for the
afflicted chips.  I got the list from Microchip a long time ago, and it can
be seen in the STD_DEF.INS.ASPIC file.  The effect of INTR_OFF_BUG 1 is to
have my INTR_OFF macro perform the additional checking you show above,
whereas when INTR_OFF_BUG is 0 it just emits BCF INTCON, GIE.
