I have done a little more debugging. The problem is definitely coming from 
drivers/tty/serial/pmac_zilog.c. I am getting ChanB interrupts while open, which 
causes the following code segment to return IRQ_NONE:

        if (r3 & (CHBEXT | CHBTxIP | CHBRxIP)) {
                if (!ZS_IS_OPEN(uap_a)) {
                        pmz_debug("ChanB interrupt while open !\n");
                        goto skip_b;
                }
                write_zsreg(uap_b, R0, RES_H_IUS);
                zssync(uap_b);
                if (r3 & CHBEXT)

When this section is entered, r3 == 0x2 (CHBTxIP).
