Have you tried using lircd with the 'devinput' driver?  e.g.
lircd --driver=devinput --device=/dev/input/by-id/{whatever your device 
appears as}
(or however mythbuntu does these things)

You'll need to use the lircd.conf.devinput file (you should find it 
somewhere under /usr/share/lirc/remotes/) in place of lircd.conf

Just a suggestion...worked for newer debian systems, just had to rewrite 
my ~home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc file to use the devinput keynames.

Cheers,

Andrew.
