OK everybody, repeat after me "Martin is an idiot, Martin is an
idiot....".  You are quite right.  I'd only looked at it a million times
without spotting that on the computer that was respawing I'd specified
the port as /dev/ttyS1 where the /dev/ is of course wrong.

One thing I learnt along the way that may help someone is that you only
see an entry in /proc/interrupts when a process is actually using the
associated device.  So the lack of an entry was simply a symptom of
getty not running.

Thank you for your help.
