Well, I now know what's causing the problem. It seems the culprit is
my USB-to-serial adapter (a Tripp-Lite U209-000-R). I managed to get
my old PC (with real RS-232 serial port hardware) running well enough
to try it there and everything worked perfectly with both 1 and 2 stop
bits. The KIO2 seems fine.
Thanks to all who replied.

Hey Folks,
I've just finished assembling a KIO2 for my K2 (SN 3490, Firmware
2.04). It seems to be working, but it only works reliably when I
set my terminal software to use 1 stop bit instead of 2. If I set
my terminal to 2 stop bits, I get garbled data about 70% of the
time. For example, the ID; command will return ID017, ID0, ID,
ID01, etc. I've observed this behavior on both a Mac and a PC, so I
don't think it's my terminal program. I tried the MacK2 program and
it works extremely erratically, presumably because it assumes 2 stop
bits. The KIO2 manual says to use 2 stop bits, but that 1 stop bit
will also work.
Before I dive into this, I thought I'd see if anyone else has
experienced this problem.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
