Well, ppc wants to use puc's interrupt, and it should be finding puc's 
interrupt.  Ah, I think I found the bug.  Try this patch to sys/dev/puc/puc.c:

Index: puc.c
===================================================================
--- puc.c	(revision 245225)
+++ puc.c	(working copy)
@@ -622,7 +628,7 @@ puc_bus_setup_intr(device_t dev, device_t child, s
 	if (cookiep == NULL || res != port->p_ires)
 		return (EINVAL);
 	/* We demand that serdev devices use filter_only interrupts. */
-	if (ihand != NULL)
+	if (port->p_type == PUC_TYPE_SERIAL && ihand != NULL)
 		return (ENXIO);
 	if (rman_get_device(port->p_ires) != originator)
 		return (ENXIO);

This should let your ppc device re-use IRQ 17 from your puc device.
