After some poking around it seems the cause is explained in the fcntl(2)
man page:

BUGS
     The asynchronous I/O facilities of FNDELAY and FASYNC are
     currently available only for tty operations.

Is there a work-around?  Fixing Dynix really isn't an option as Sequent
is no longer developing it in favor of Dynix/ptx.  We do have a source
license if a kernel fix is the only way to go.
