I see no problem here. By default Ubuntu's udev-implementation seems to 
blank the /dev directory on startup. (So your changes are erased when you 
boot the next time in your box.)
I've never come up with a solution for automatically creating the devices.
Theoretically it *should* work out of the box. (It definitely works with 
bluetooth, by the way.)
At the moment I'm using the small script below. (Which also solves any 
permission issue).

#! /bin/sh
#
mknod /dev/ircomm0 c 161 0
mknod /dev/ircomm1 c 161 1
mknod /dev/irlpt0 c 161 16
mknod /dev/irlpt1 c 161 17
mknod /dev/irnet c 10 187
chmod 666 /dev/ir*
