Well, OK, I was way off base.

Eventually I found documentation on the "default" driver, which says
that it works with anything that the kernel supports... which of course
includes basic UART serial ports.  Probably www.lirc.org/html/table.html
should be updated to list "default" as the driver for these homebrew
thingies.

The real problem was in /etc/lirc_options.conf on the "device" line.  I
had to replace "/dev/lirc0" with "/dev/lirc1".  I figured this out by
removing and reloading the lirc_serial module, and noticing that that
dev went away and came back.

(Hmm... here's hoping that it shows up in the next place upon next
reboot.)
