I'm no VIC-II guru, but I'll present my thoughts here anyway.

Sounds like you're manually asserting the processor bus using the
SuperCPU. Are you using write accesses, or read accesses from the
appropriate area of video memory so that the DRAM chips assert the bus?

Either way, AEC is always high during these first three cycles (the CPU
half thereof) and so the 4066 analogue switch must always be enabled,
making D11 - D8 the same as D3 - D0.
