Attached is a patch which does what I expect.  It pains me to not
include my patch for bug 698007 in the patch, but it's a separate bug,
so I'm leaving that fix there.  Please consider it as well.

** Patch added: "Patch to change order in which transmitter and remote are loaded"

Title:
  lirc init script seems to load things backwards

Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lirc

The lirc manual describes how to load multiple devices here:
http://www.lirc.org/html/configure.html#multiple

Assuming that the primary device get started on lircd and the secondary device gets started on lircd1:

In short the proper method is to start lircd1 with --listen, and then lircd with --connect

The lircd init script does this backwards, lircd with --listen, and then lircd1 with --connect.

The result is that only the primary device is visible on lircd.  Both devices are visible on lircd1, however, most applications will require additional configuration in order to communicate with both devices.
