Seeing "tio_set_flow_control( HARD )>" in your output, along with the
fact that you said the expected output finally appeared after you
connected with tip, makes me suspect that flow control is at the root
of this problem.
The biggest ftdi driver difference before/after freebsd 8 is that the
driver used to automatically re-intialize the chip on every open to set
up some arbitrary combination of comms parameters (baud, flow control,
etc) -- I forget all the details now, I'd have to do some digging
through logs to find exactly what it used to set. Now the driver
leaves the chip alone at open time, and the contents of the
/dev/cuaU#.init and cuaU#.lock files should be completely in control of
the serial parameters.
Is it possible that you set up the .init and/or .lock devices in some
rc script in freebsd 7 and forgot about it? If not, then maybe the
driver init changes are enough to explain the glitch.
I wonder if this would fix it:
stty -f /dev/cuaU4.init crtscts
If so, then put that command into an rc script, or maybe into a devd
rule that runs whenever that usb-serial is attached.
If not... then I guess we'll figure out what to try next. :)
