There is no issue with the A5B. We use that port to test every board that goes out and always have.
Now, the cable you are using, well that will certainly blow up the buffer sooner or later if it hasn't already. That is an RS232 cable. We use TTL cables at 3.3V. Go here to get a line on the right cable http://www.elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Black_Serial and as long as the buffer still works, you should be OK.
