At least on the CP2105, sending this once doesn't work, you have to send
it twice to make it happen.  If you only send it once, you will get a
really short time (a few bits) where the break is sent, right when the
break is turned off, thus it isn't recognised as a break.  Sending it
twice won't hurt anything, so just do it all the time.

I played with this a bit, and found this change fixes the issue.  It's
not ideal, I suppose, but it works.
