Hi,
not everything that you wrote above worked for me. Here is my workaround for the problem:
1) uninstall lirc-modules-source (if installed)
2) install lirc-nct677x-1.0.4-ubuntu9.10.deb (it patches /usr/share/lirc/lirc.hwdb and adds remote definition)
3) rm /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_wb677/lirc_wb677.ko (installed in 2) )
4) force install (dpkg --force-depends) lirc-nct677x-src-1.0.4-ubuntu9.10.deb
5) dkms add -m lirc-nct677x-src -v 1.0.4-ubuntu9.10
6) dkms build -m lirc-nct677x-src -v 1.0.4-ubuntu9.10
7) rmmod lirc_dev; modprobe lirc_wb677
8) make sure that /etc/lirc/lircd.conf contains something like:
include "/usr/share/lirc/remotes/lirc_wb677/lircd.conf.wb677"
9) dpkg-reconfigure lirc (set nuvoton as lirc receiver)
10) service lirc restart
11) check if your remote works using irw command
12) ???
13) profit! ;)

After applying the lirc_dev-2.6.33.patch, the 3d party driver for the Nuvoton 677x is no longer loadable. It compiles fine, but complains about incorrect version upon modprobe:

[ 5870.433827] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61 
[ 5870.436038] lirc_wb677: disagrees about version of symbol lirc_register_driver
[ 5870.436038] lirc_wb677: Unknown symbol lirc_register_driver

After removing the above mentioned patch to lirc, both compilation and modprobe works fine:
[ 7700.230465] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61 
[ 7700.234243] lirc_wb677 w677hga: chip id high: 0xff expect:0xb4
