I don't know if the freeipmi-KCS driver works.  You may want to give it
a shot.  Just force it by specify --driver-type=KCS on the command line.
Otherwise, I'm sort of stumped.  If the IPMI packets don't come back
from /dev/ipmi0, I'm not sure what else can be done.  I could maybe add
a retry-mechanism into the in-band communication code.  Never thought
I'd have to support retransmissions on in-band communication :P

That's good.
