Summary: It's the modem, not the software.

In his case, he has a 'smart' modem that is too smart.  No matter what
he tells it to do, it does what it wants to.  Well, in a limited sort
of way.

In particular, the modem prefers 7-bit even parity mode, but UUCP
does not.  He is now in the process of making the modem as dumb as
possible (but still be able to dial out).

uucico -x9 provided the answer in this case.
