I would assume that MESS is displaying the correct behavior, only because Ultima III's box does not say "Apple IIe required for Mockingboard emulation" and why limit your Mockingboard music to a somewhat limited market (Apple IIe owners) in 1984?
I can confirm that Ultima III works with a Mockingboard in a real II+, no matter whether it has a language card installed or not. It's likely that it doesn't work on an "Old Monitor" II though, because its IRQ vector is fairly useless (and at least on an 48K machine, unchangable).
