it seems you didn't followup in the kernel.org bugzilla. Is this fixed
in current kernels from sid or testing?

Testing on a different computer, just plugging it in with a clean boot
on the same kernel version as before (that this bug was filed against)
immediately crashed the kernel (OOPS, followed shortly by a constant
terminal bell and no response to any input, not even numlock or SysRq).

Testing this device using linux-image2.6.38-2-amd64 from current sid
(v2.6.38-4) resulted in all 4 ports working perfectly.  However, I only
could test them individually on that machine, so I can not confirm they
will work simultaneously as they are used on the real system.  But, it
certainly seems better to me.

I will follow up once I get a chance to test this on the live system
with this new kernel version, but that may be a while.  I suspect this
bug is now resolved, but I can't confirm this until then.

I found a window to reboot the main system using this hardware to test this newer kernel, and it just went through a cycle using all 4 serial ports on this device simultaneously, and worked perfectly.

So, I can confirm this bug has definitely been fixed as of the above kernel package version (linux-image2.6.38-2-amd64 from sid 5 days ago).

Thanks!
