Dunno if it's true, but it's worth trying... If you have MSDOS 6.xx, you no longer need to explicitly allocate XMS/EMS in EMM386. It seems that MSDOS 6.xx will dynamically allocate memory between XMS and EMS, as required by the application. When the application closes, all EMS is converted back to XMS.
