Yes, that is normal, it is not a GPS device.  So theserial open should
fail, but, when I coded it last year the PPS thread would continue.

Given other breakage recently noted in the file opening area I can
believe it got broken in the last few months.

There is a recent patch to gpsd-dev to fix some of the breakage.
