The data does come in to gpsd, I attached log. You can see RMC with
invalid fix there (Status field = 'V'). Information about missing fix
is still information (valuable one in this use case). Actually the
existing code seems to attempt to register that but fails to report it
outside of gpsd.

I opened gpsd bug for this: http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?52055
