I think I've found the issue.

When completely disconnected, GPBUS behaves as expected, making DIO_x
inputs. But when there are certain signals present at DIO_0-7, logic
goes crazy and makes at least DIO_14 an output with an uncertain state.

My design connected GPBUS to a latch through a 74LVC245. But the latch
wasn't a 74HC373 as recommended but a 74LS373. Since DIR pin of
74LVC254 was connected to GPBUS RD#, it connected internal bus to
GPBUS and LS373's TTL inputs created noise signals at internal bus
that were fed to TS-7400, which seems to created DIO_14 mess.

The solution? An elegant pullup at 74LVC245's DIR so direction is
forced inwards, from GPBUS to internal bus until RD# controls it. That
ways there aren't random signals at GPBUS' inputs and no strange behavior.

Hopefully TS engineers will take note and check CPLD programming.
