Hum not sure about that, the files in my /etc/udev/rules.d/ are all:

-rw-r--r-- global read, write owner (which is root).

All the files in my directory are *.rules as well. I think you may have 
cracked it with that suggestion. They are also numbered eg "53-local.rules" 
so that they get loaded in the right order.

Aye not convenient. You can get USB-Serial adapters that do have a serial 
number but not at PL2302 based device prices... 

I worked around having three on my server by forgetting about plugging in 
anything, anywhere, anytime and assigning a given physical port a given 
device name via that ports ID. Labels then tell me what to plug in where, no 
different to the old COM1, COM2, system really.
