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.

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.
