Hmm, i'm afraid i will eventually forget this.  Please, submit a
problem report for this (simply type `send-pr').

The problem is that there's no driver support for a serial port yet.
I once wrote a stub driver, but it was far from being functional at
all (and IIRC, it was a INT14 hook only, not even the attempt of a
hardware pass-through or emulation).

Maybe it's a better idea to write a driver for INT33, and layer it on
top of /dev/sysmouse...
