I am willing to try anything so I gave it a shot but it didn't work. I
still get a "kern PPS no signal" message if NMEA and PPS are both
enabled. Using PPS alone with /dev/pps1 pointing to /dev/dtyb works
fine. So there's still some type of contention going on.
I'll still have to put a serial monitor on the line and try to figure
out what is being transmitted towards the GPS when the PPS driver is
active.
I noticed that when updating from ntpd 4.2.7p97 to ntpd 4.2.7p206, I
noticed that the newer
version is sending some RS-232 data to the GPS soon after the PPS signal
has
started. I filed a bug report about this:

I don't know whether it's related to your issue, though, as I'm seeing
this on Windows.
I'll have to go back and see if I can count the bytes but first glance
seems to show at least 64 bytes. I'm half tempted to say it's actually
a packet of some type (TCP or UDP with a data payload?) being spat out
the serial port. I say this because the front part of the data is
almost always the same and only the last portion seems to change a
little at a time (like a counter).
