Aha, that's likely the problem:

  idVendor           0x1a86 QinHeng Electronics
  idProduct          0x7523 HL-340 USB-Serial adapter

We've seen other (USBHID-to-serial) adapters from QinHeng that do
"strange" things to the data. If you have another USB-to-serial adapter
with an FTDI or Prolific chip I'm pretty sure it'll work fine (you
already mentioned in another post that using a real RS232 port also
works fine).

Yep, this looks incorrect and is likely caused by the QinHeng adapter.

The "0d 8a" should be "0d 0a" for example, it looks like the adapter
messes around with the parity bit and thus breaks the protocol.

There are workarounds for this, we're doing a similar thing for the
UT-D04 cable that's shipped with some UNI-T devices, e.g.

  
http://sigrok.org/gitweb/?p=libsigrok.git;a=blob;f=src/hardware/uni-t-dmm/protocol.c;h=37144980fa108ea13e5b880274b491e686ec47ff;hb=HEAD#l225

Not sure whether it makes sense to add a workaround for this specific
USB-to-serial device (and where) in libsigrok.

Where did you get this USB-to-serial device? Was it shipped with the
multimeter or bought extra (and it's not intended to be used with
this device)?
