IIRC the nios cpu will always do 32bit transfers to the Avalon slave, with the 4 byte enables being asserted appropriately.

For a 16bit slave there will be a 'bus width adapter' that generates two cycles with the relevant byte enables copied across - even if it means a cycle has active byte enables!

(Reads always assert all 4 byte enables.)

It might be that you are only tracing the first of the two adjacent cycles!
