Ah, just realised that I didn't explain the solution I ended up
with. Basically, the current pk2cmd distribution (1.21-RC1) doesn't have
the most recent device file.

So you need the source

  wget http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/PICkit2_PK2CMD_WIN32=
_SourceV1-21_RC1.zip

(WIN32? Yep, apparently). Unzip it, go into the pk2cmd subdirectory and
"make linux". Now get the new device file: while in the pk2cmd
subdirectory, do

  wget http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/PK2DFUpdate-1-62-14.=
zip
  unzip PK2DFUpdate-1-62-14.zip

(this puts the new device file in the right place).

Install the result in whichever way you choose. (I used stow to stick it
in /usr/stow/pk2cmd and set up symlinks). Note: The installer puts the
device file in /usr/local/share/pk2cmd (I think) and then can't find
it. Probably the easiest option is to symlink from somewhere in your
path. For example:

  ln -s /usr/local/share/pk2cmd/PK2DeviceFile.dat /usr/local/bin

As long as PK2DeviceFile.dat isn't executable, this won't screw up tab
completion, even if sticking random files in your bin directory is
icky. Microchip's recommendation is to add /usr/local/share/pk2cmd to
your $PATH, but that strikes me as even nastier.

I should say thanks again to Adam Goldman, who sent me a (more concise)
email with the solution.
