It looks like you have to send single numbers in sequence, like 242 followed by two numbers less than 128. Below is a patch that should do that.
At least [midiout] actually sends the message. For me [midiin], on the other end of the cable, outputs 242 and the right outlet is always 2. I don't know where the data went.

Actually now I do. In the source code s_midi.c, the function sys_dispatchnextmidiin():
/* other kinds of messages are just dropped here. We'll
need another status byte before we start letting MIDI in
again (no running status across "system" messages). */
case MIDITIMECODE: /* 1 data byte*/
break;
case MIDISONGPOS: /* 2 */
break;
case MIDISONGSELECT: /* 1 */
break;
