Didn't try your whole procedure yet, but I confirmed the above in the 
vax780 binary I compiled from the newest source code:


hvdkamer at obelix-deb9:~/vax$ wget 
http://www.9track.net/bits/vax/vms040stb.rx3.bz2
hvdkamer at obelix-deb9:~/vax$ bzip2 -dc vms040stb.rx3.bz2 > vms40stb.rx33
hvdkamer at obelix-deb9:~/vax$ cat exp2.ini
; Try RX33 disk image from http://www.9track.net/simh/vax782/
;
set console log=logs/vms44.log
set rq0 ra92
attach rq0 vms44sys.dsk
attach rq1 vms40stb.rx33
attach ts bb-bt05c-be.tap
hvdkamer at obelix-deb9:~/vax$ ./vax780 exp2.ini
