I'm no expert on this, but no-one else seems to be either :-)

Are you sure it doesn't work despite the message?  With an 
on-motherboard sio port I get

sio1: configured irq 4 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio1: port may not be enabled
sio1: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on acpi0
sio1: type 16550A

and the port works just fine.  The "not in probed bitmaps" is some ACPI 
related cruft, IIUC.

I do, however, see the IRQ.  I do have

hint.sio.1.at="isa"
hint.sio.1.port="0x3F8"
hint.sio.1.irq="4"

in device.hints, but I'm not really sure it was necessary.  Might well 
be for an actual ISA card, though.  Are you sure that none of the irq 
hints you tried showed you the IRQ in the COM port line?  I was 
distracted by the not in bitmap message for a while until I twigged that 
the thing *was* working.
