Well, I've scoped it and analysed it many times. Characters
are not lost in transit, they just aren't being sent. It'll work maybe
3 or 4 times, then the next run, with a seemingly identical set-up,
it doesn't work

That's what is already being done (note - where the memory
dumps come from), and actually how the complete project has
to work anyway

If you look at the memory dump, you'll see it's full of CR and LF,
which are not delimiters. The "OK" is the delimiter, and that's
what goes missing
