I had a similar problem and suggested used the three cable method you mentioned
with great success.
Before I tried this I sent an inquiry to Dacta and got this response
"There is an issue with some Macintosh serial ports that we are currently
testing. We do have a usable solution while we continue to test and
design for this issue.
I would like you to add a Macintosh serial extension cable between the
black LEGO Dacta cable and the IR Transmitter. This cable is a typical
8pin Male-Female Mac MiniDin extension cable (4 to 6 feet) that can be
purchased at a local Macintosh dealer."
I haven't tried it myself, but if you try it let met know if it works
