I had a similar problem when using a USB to serial adapter and an EasyDigi board. Both the RTS and DTR pins are wired to the EasyDigi - presumably so that either one can be selected for PTT by the client. Lines that seemed like they should work either gave me no PTT or a constant transmit. The only line that worked in direwolf.conf was this:
PTT /dev/ttyUSB0 RTS DTR
At the time I implemented the above, it was not considered a valid option based on my interpretation of what's in the manual, but it worked.? If it hasn't been tried already you might want to try the above and also try reversing RTS and DTR in the line if the above doesn't work. Of course change the serial port to match yours.

Understood, but toggling the switch should only switch the PTT method
whether that by PTT or FSK in accordance to the signal it receives, be
that RTS or DTR, but I digress, if my buddy and I have no luck I will
give that a go, pull it out and do some tinkering.
I'm still curious why I can get PTT in FLDigi without a issue but not
Direwolf, or rather it works correctly.
Another thing I thought about doing is grabbing one of my USB serial
adapters that shows what signals are being sent via LEDs on the adapter
and seeing what it shows me.
