That's right. Noone has ever reported it to work - mostly it's been questions 
of the form "does this work at all?"

Yes. Everything is pilot-link based. The most reliable tools for checking if a 
device works are also the pilot-link base apps: pilot-xfer, dlpsh.

OK, but .. 
http://lists.pilot-link.org/pipermail/pilot-link-devel/2003-May/000493.html 
says that there has been some success, at some point in time. Have you got 
the uvisor, um, visor module loaded? Does the device register in dmesg 
or /var/spool/messages when you hit the button? Is it assigned a tty?

There are no kpilot maintainers in the US. There are pilot-link maintainers 
there, though, who would similarly appreciate a unit for testing. And once it 
works there, it will work with [gjk]pilot. Take a look at www.pilot-link.org, 
there's some info about sending devices, I'm sure David would appreciate it.
