This worked for me ...

Get a snapshot from:
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/software/snapshots/lirc-0.8.2pre1.tar.bz2

Unpack it in /usr/src/

Get latest version 1.27 driver here ...
http://lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/lirc/lirc/drivers/lirc_mceusb2/lirc_mceusb2.c

Copy lirc_mceusb2.c over existing driver v 1.25 in snapshot tree 
at /usr/src/lirc-0.8.2pre1/drivers/lirc_mceusb2/lirc_mceusb2.c

cd /usr/src/lirc-0.8.2pre1/
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-driver=mceusb2 && make

locate existing modules lirc_mceusb2.ko and lirc_dev.ko on your system
somewhere under /lib/modules/ and replace them with modules from the
snapshot tree,
at /usr/src/lirc-0.8.2pre1/drivers/lirc_mceusb2/lirc_mceusb2.ko
 & /usr/src/lirc-0.8.2pre1/drivers/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.ko

depmod -a

email me off list if you have any problems ...
