It's odd that it differs. Historically, the standards are:

COM1 3F8 IRQ 4
COM2 2F8 IRQ 3
COM3 3E8 IRQ 4
COM4 2E8 IRQ 3

With the above setup, COM.SYS is limited to enabling a maximum of 2 ports.
Typically, the IRQs can be configured in the BIOS, although different MBs
have different limits on how much can be configured.

Define broken. I suspect this is just the way you have the MB BIOS
configured.
