Is anyone active in the serial code?
Yes.

The Machines are all amd64, various motherboards, identical distros
using 2.6.28.1 kernel.
Either I have a particularly motley collection of kit, or the serial
code is in a pretty bad way.
I use serial consoles on a variety of embedded boards every day (albeit
mostly mips based) ,so I think it works.
You do have to have your kernel configured properly for a serial console
for it to work right.
I would test it using some other device as the console. Only once you
have it working try for the serial console.
