So we have the same firmware revision.

Is the port accessible somehow so that you could hook up a scope or
logic analyser? Or is that what you did already when you mentioned
seeing garbage sent after 2.5 seconds?

That last bit seems to match the behaviour I see with the second, SCI
port, where the last character sent is resent when trying to signal a
break.
