Yes, this is a somewhat new install, but I had used it successfully before. There is a bit of a race condition between gpsd and a telescope service. The first one to connect to the device wins. I found it when I made a change where the telescope service started later after boot. After that change GPSD was able to take control of the device before the correct software had a chance.

I have reconfigured gpsd to not auto connect (using a network GPS device anyway), and I have overridden the entire 60-gpsd.rules file to comment out the one problem line. That should prevent this from happening again on my systems. It is too bad I can't selectively undo system udev rules without overriding the entire file. I'm not going to go anywhere near that flame war with LP on the udev override issue though. :|
