Where are you calling that from?  How did you call it?

The code that guards with "if (octetCanInterrupt)" is in asynStandardInterfacesBase.c.  That is typically called in the constructor of asynPortDriver.  In the asynPortDriver constructor you pass it a bit mask of interfaces on which your driver will register interrupts.  If you set the asynOctetMask bit in that mask then asynStandardInterfacesBase will call registerInterruptSource on the asynOctet interface.

However, this should be completely irrelevant for the drvAsynIPPort driver, because it does not derive from asynPortDriver and does not use asynStandardInterfacesBase.

Are you sure you were calling pasynManager->registerInterruptSource with a drvAsynIPPort name, and not some other port that derived from asynPortDriver?

It is easy to add this capability to drvAsynIPPort. But when I call
pasynManager->registerInterruptSource I get an error
"asynManager:registerInterruptSource already registered". Apparently
there is a mechanism in place that generically registers an interrupt
source for /every/ asynOctet interface (and all other standard asyn
interfaces, too). This effectively blocks this feature for all standard
asyn interfaces, so it becomes impossible to add I/O Intr support to
drvAsynIPPort. The code that calls registerInterruptSource in this
generic manner is guarded by an "if (octetCanInterrupt)" but I was
unable to find out what I should do for this flag to be reset. It gets
set by the constructor for class asynPortDriver, but I found no place
where this class actually gets instantiated to an object, i.e. a call to
the constructor takes place. I find all this pretty confusing and would
appreciate hints...
