UPS behaves differently (see below).
Additionally I dumped the traffic with a serial analyzer - if that helps I 
could post it, too (lenghty).

My tests:
Setup:
- computer directly connected to mains
- 100W bulb used as load
- load manually switched on at UPS
- nut-2.0.3

nut started:
  tfp-3:~ # rcnut start
  NUT Starting UPS model drivers: Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 
2.0.3
  Network UPS Tools - MGE UPS SYSTEMS/SHUT driver 0.65 (2.0.3)
  Detected (null) [1Y2G15069] on /dev/ttyS1

  NUT Starting UPS daemon: Network UPS Tools upsd 2.0.3
  Connected to UPS [Pulsar1000]: mge-shut-ttyS1
  Synchronizing...........done

  Network UPS Tools upsmon 2.0.3
  UPS: Pulsar1000 at localhost (master) (power value 1)
  Using power down flag file /var2/nut/killpower
