After being directed by Attachmate support to install this fix, the problem was solved. Have not had an issue since. I think the "note" is more of a CYA from them than anything. As a further note, this was to fix an X-Clock issue on consoles attaching to a 2074, not an OSA-ICC. When the console screen was scrolling, if you attempted to type anything on the screen like a command, it would hang up with an X-Clock. It should also be noted that this fix is applied to version 6.7. I am unaware if it is applicable to 7.0 as Daniel is attempting to get working. I do know that Attachmate's latest release of Extra! is 7.11. It has also been pointed out that IBM does not come out and say that Extra! is a supported emulator for an OSA-ICC. As Extra! is the only emulator that we have in house here, I am extremely interested in the outcome of this issue that Daniel is having, as "someday" we will be going to an OSA-ICC ourselves. I only posted it as it somewhat sounded as the same issue that Daniel was having. Here's to hoping that it resolves Daniel's issues.
