Which is why you may need to be careful when using the INT 85h approach, and make sure the flags in your code immediately before you issue the call are what they should be (the same as what's at your [BP+6]), e.g.:

PUSH [BP+6]
POPF
INT 85h

You should also make sure that the flags that are returned by INT 85h are stored unchanged at your [BP+6] when you exit, e.g:

INT 85h
PUSHF
POP [BP+6]
POP BP
IRET

This assumes that BP is not a parameter you need to "pass through", which is usually a safe assumption (safer than that you do not need to pass the flags through, anyway). There are ways (more complicated, of course) if you need to pass the original BP through as well.
