Agreed, and done. In case you are interested, it's Debian bug #621851,
which turns out to be a modemmanager bug. In case you don't already
know, modemmanager andles 3G modems and it is this program who actually
writes to the braille device...

To submit the networkmanager bug, I had to go through 153 bugs tomake
suremine wasn't already reported. Quite boring but this fully convinced
me not to use networkmanager, did I ever think to do so.

Sébastien.
