It's perhaps possible that your terminal is sensible against modem
control signals?  Though i've been using comconsole in a similar
environment, and only noticed that the output drops at the time the
sio devices are being probed.  (Even this doesn't happen with a
modem-control insensitive terminal however.)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
