Following up on the message below, my two serial ports were indeed flipped by VMware when set to auto-detect.
Changing the VMware vmx file entries as follows set them straight: serial0.present = "TRUE" serial0.fileName = "COM1" serial0.autodetect = "FALSE" serial1.present = "TRUE" serial1.fileName = "COM2" serial1.autodetect = "FALSE" Mentioning this in the Wiki is right on the money.

with it. I gave up guessing and just statically configured VMware to assign the ports to the VM, as per the wiki instructions. Life got much easier at that point.
Yeah, I suspected VMware from the beginning, and the ports are set to auto-detect, so statically configuring them should do the trick when I get home tonight. Before I do that it will be interesting to see if the two ports are reversed - I have both serial ports set to AUTO.
