That sounds similar to a problem that I've run into building Rockbox on 
my iPod with serial support (the interface on the bottom of the iPod is 
serial, from what I read, and any dock that adds functionality to the 
iPod uses that as its interface) - apparently the highly experimental 
serial driver doesn't always detect the baud rate correctly, and that can 
create interesting problems.  I imagine the control channel looks very 
much like gibberish. :-)
