How long ago was this? I would need to know what kernel versions and
what PCMCIA driver versions were involved. It has been months since I
changed any of the PCI bridge setup code in the PCMCIA modules.

There is no module called pci_fixup. There is an object file called
pci_fixup that is linked into pcmcia_core. This has been there since
PCMCIA release 3.1.11.

This is a PCI subsystem issue; the PCMCIA code asks the PCI subsystem
to activate the bridge device and isn't working.

This is odd. I don't have an explanation for this, especially without
knowing what PCMCIA driver releases were involved. Unless you specify
otherwise, the i82365 driver just reports the bridge settings that it
finds; it won't change the interrupt delivery mode unless told to do
so. So something else has caused your two sockets to be set up in
different ways; there isn't any way to tell the i82365 module to do
that.
