16-bit mode does, but gas used to be utterly broken with regards to
32-bit address overrides.  This has been fixed, but apparently these
old, broken versions of gas are still out there festering in the
environment.

One possible workaround is to switch .code16 to .code16gcc at the top of
the file; another is:

-	movw	68(%esp), %di
+	movw	%sp, %di
+	movw	68(%di), %di

Does changing .code16 to .code16gcc work for you?
