I do not know how universal that is, but _reading_ port 0xf0 might in fact be sensible then? And should even work on a 386/387 pair? (I have a 386/387 in fact, although I'd need to dig it up).

No.  Someone might have used 0xf0 as a readonly port for other uses.

As support: port 80 on the reporter's (my) HP dv9000z laptop clearly responds to reads differently than "unused" ports. In particular, an inb takes 1/2 the elapsed time compared to a read to "known" unused port 0xed - 792 tsc ticks for port 80 compared to about 1450 tsc ticks for port 0xed and other unused ports (tsc at 800 MHz).
