Can you try to blacklist the 'option' driver (in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist by adding a link "blacklist option") and reboot, and see how many ttys you get? The device should then be driven by cdc-acm instead of option, which is really the correct driver for the modem. Also, the output of 'udevadm info --export-db' would be useful (remove non-tty-related entries) so we can see what the prober is doing. We can also log the prober output to see what's going on. Just for reference, I did check -4 against an F3507g (same card) in a Thinkpad X200 and it was working fine with that. So it should be working OK, just need to track down what the issue is.
