You can't take a byte out of context for ia32 instruction. I have no
problem:

[hjl@gnu-d tmp]$ cat 1.s
        pause
        monitor
        mwait
[hjl@gnu-d tmp]$ gcc -c 1.s -m32
[hjl@gnu-d tmp]$ objdump -d 1.o

1.o:     file format elf32-i386

Disassembly of section .text:

00000000 <.text>:
   0:   f3 90                   pause
   2:   0f 01 c8                monitor %eax,%ecx,%edx
   5:   0f 01 c9                mwait  %eax,%ecx
