So if your GUS does not work correctly in native mode (I usually check with various trackers) then NMI is not the cause.
I haven't installed any trackers yet. For quick testing, I just use the Jukebox found in the Setup for Tyrian 2000; I can quickly change FM/MIDI/GUS/Effects options.
Okay, for native mode NMI is not required, but what is causing the NMI test to fail on the other BX mobos?

Still have you checked if any other hardware is using NMI ? (RAM Error Reporting etc.)
Does Megaem loads?
On the working system, there's just the GUS and an S3 GX2 installed. Most things are disabled in the BIOS. It's a P2 400Mhz, downclocked to 133Mhz, running Win98SE. No errors are being reported. When I run the GUS emulators:
1) SBOS initialises (v3.82), tested on Doom2, and Tyrian2k Jukebox.
2) UltraMax SBOS inistialises (v0.21 beta), tested on Doom2, and Tyrian2k Jukebox.
3) MegaEm fails (v2.07) - reports EMM incompatibility, cannot expand server page directory (probably the EMM version in Win98SE)...?
