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;
