In my tests terminating a transaction took about 25ms, what is in line with the chip-internal timeout as described in 5.21.3.2 "Bus Time Out" in [0]. Therefore the 2ms delay is too low. Instead of a fixed delay let's use i801_wait_intr() here, this also facilitates the status handling. This potential issue seems to have been existing forever, but as no related problem is known, treat it as an improvement.
