Thanks for your answer.

In the meantime we have 3.2.0 arrived in Debian wheezy, so I tried 
again, and got exactly the same problem.

I realized as well that they are handled by the "pch_uart" driver, I can 
modprobe, the driver "see" the devices and creates the associated 
/dev/ttyPCHn, but it just does not work :(

Did you have any "real" success? (I mean physically connecting the 2nd 
serial?)

I then traced the changes in the sources and decided to comment out the 
pci ids definitions in 8250_pci.c so that they aren't handled by 
"pch_uart" as they were not in the past...

... and now they are recognized again as ttySn, and it works perfectly :)

Still need to figure out how to get the same result without recompiling 
a kernel, as I would prefer to stay on Debian stock kernel...
