Well, looks like I made a typo in my inital message.
It should have read "connected to COM2 (which would be /dev/ttyS1)".
Funny that if something goes wrong, it _really_ goes wrong...

I meanwhile have made sure LIRC is configured to use /dev/ttyS0 (which is
COM1), but the IR adapter is definitely plugged into a connector labelled
COM2 on my computer casing. So my inital error was simply to trust the labelling
on the casing...

Sorry for the confusion.
