Just to chime in, if you are running the latest LIRC CVS (0.8.6-CVS), then the proper way to get your device to recognize MCE codes is by loading the model with ir_protocol=1 as such:
sudo modprobe lirc_imon ir_protocol=1
if you leave off ir_protocol=1 then it assumes ir_protocol=0 which is imon native mode. I got this info from a developer on the LIRC team. Unfortunately, I am still struggling to get mine to work (0036 model). The only model that I know that WILL NOT work with the ir_protocol=1 is the older ffdc models as that is what I started off with and it was concluded it doesn't work.
Hope this helps.
