I gave up on pblq and wrote my own stuff, though probably I should have just fixed pblq. I think what actually happens is the first command times out but when you try again it works; I sit and wait for a successful version command response before proceeding.
pblq does ping the board with a get-version packet after the handshake's complete, and wait for the result, so that shouldn't be the problem...
I suspect the major culprit is probably the bit of code that tries to be clever and changes the baud rate after handshaking. The E3 uses a different default baud rate, IIRC.
Unfortunately I don't have an E3, and I've just moved house and my E2 and interface board is somewhere in a box, so I probably won't be doing much development for a while...
