That sounds quite bizarre. Have you loaded the resulting hex into an editor 
and verified that it is in fact a hex file?  IE no strange characters 
padded in somewhere.

The only other thing I can think of would be if the hex generated had some 
references to non-existant memory areas.  Hmm, Martin's LPC21ISP has a 
debug option to dump out a binary image of the hex, you might give that a 
try and see if there is something odd about the result.

Mind you, the USB->serial device shouldn't care what stream is sent to 
it.  Maybe it has an escape sequence it recognizes?
