You have been subscribed to a public bug: This device works flawlessly on Windows XP with native driver, both as a physical machine or inside a VM. It appears on XP's device management as "USB 2.0" name.
On Ubuntu, Shorting pins 2 and 3 of DB9 connector does not give back characters sent (no echo), nor typed strings are sent to other RS232 devices, despite of communication settings. Characters from remote devices are correctly received. Using a null modem cable to other RS232 terminal shows that the local terminal receives, but does not transmit. Its worth to mention: passing through the device to a guest virtual machine (KVM) running Windows XP makes it work correctly with XP driver inside the guest OS. Bringing back the device stops transmitting. Only receive works.
