Since the module is running in non-muxed mode, the ALE is not used for 
any fetches.  I am under the impression that it will still toggle in the 
same way as muxed mode.  I don't have any insight into what might be 
going on, but pulling down the ALE signal should not be necessary for 
normal operation.  Have you checked the 3V power to the SRAMs?  Maybe 
under load something shows up that is invisible while everything is static?
