Glad it works for you.  I'm not the maintainer, and also don't have 
adequate specs from Realtek to definitively explain why the NPQ bit 
apparently needs to be re-enabled when some but not all of the TX FIFO 
is dequeued.  It is documented as if it isn't cleared until the FIFO is 
empty.  So I assume an official patch will have to wait until Francois 
is back.
