First, sorry for not getting back to you sooner on this one. The short story is that setting the speed using TIOCSSERIAL has been deprecated for a very long time, and the alt-speed handling (e.g. SPD_WARP) has been broken in tty core for about four years without anyone noticing. I've cleaned this up now, and specifically added a deprecation warning also to ftdi_sio. Instead you should be using BOTHER and the "new" TCSETS2 ioctl for setting non-standard baud rates. It's a bit cumbersome to use due to missing libc support, but it is the right interface for this.
