There's no problem. Quoting fine manual:
              For the memory types you  usually  use SM  for  the SIM card and
              ME for the phone memory. The exception are the phones supported
              by nk7110  (Nokia  7110/6210/6250)  and nk6510  (Nokia
              6310/6510/8310) drivers.
And I don't think smsd forces to use IN memory type. There may be
other problem though as the message you quote doesn't say anything
about memory type but about a location. That's probably due to
location 0 problem. First you can show debug log for that, second you
can do hacky change in smsd/lowlevel.c

    if ((error = gn_sms_get (&data, sm)) == GN_ERR_INVALIDLOCATION)
      smsdConfig.firstSMS = 1;
    else
      smsdConfig.firstSMS = 0;

change it to:

    smsdConfig.firstSMS = 1;

Does somebody have a phone with supported memory location 0?

Your inbox messages are either in ME or in SM.

gnokii says you precisely that you can read from ME or SM...

... and you still trying to read from IN. Really, there's just a bit
logic required...

You can use the following commands with minicom to check supported
memory types for your phone:
AT+CPMS? -- to get supported memory types
AT+CPMS=? -- to get used memory types of incoming or outgoing sms.
