The PPS pulse is right on.  (I had a scope out.)

It's a Venus chip.  There probably aren't many of them in use with gpsd+ntpd.

There is venus634lp in the test collection, but that only tests the parser, 
not timing.  And even if the test package did check timing, the data might 
have come from a time when it was working.
