Hmm never heard of IrScrutinizer before. Might also be useful trying to debug why my Revo RL80 U22 CIR appears to do nothing as well.
As is though upgrading to lirc-0.9.3+ and using it in the irtoy mode things settled down. At least on my laptop they did. On the Raspberry Pi all went very weird even using the same source so dunno what went on there.
So I eventually got IRtoy working will with my laptop after I compiled lirc 0.9.3 and used that to read the control. So I thought I was take a DVD control and just map it and see how it came out. Well on my laptop worked as I expected so I thought great I will copy the resulting config to a RPI 3 I have running OSMC. I also compiled lirc 0.9.3 on the Pi just to make sure everything was in sync. However the file did not work, hmm.. odd but should not be an issue to recreate one on the pi. Alas something is breaking that.
It goes though all the motions:

If there already is a remote control of the same brand available at http://sf.net/p/lirc-remotes you might want to try using such a remote as a template. The config files already contains all parameters of the protocol used by remotes of a certain brand and knowing these parameters makes the job of this program much easier. There are also template files for the most common protocols available. Templates can be downloaded using irdb-get(1). You use a template file by providing the path of the file as a command line parameter.
Checking for ambient light creating too much disturbances. Please don't press any buttons, just wait a few seconds...
No significant noise (received 0 bytes)
Enter name of remote (only ascii, no spaces) :tst1 Using tst1.lircd.conf as output filename
Now start pressing buttons on your remote control.
It is very important that you press many different buttons and hold them down for approximately one second. Each button should generate at least one dot but in no case more than ten dots of output. Don't stop pressing buttons until two lines of dots (2x80) have been generated.
Press RETURN now to start recording. ................................................................................ Got gap (1000000 us)}
Please keep on pressing buttons like described above. ...............Signal too long Creating config file in raw mode. Signals are pulse encoded. Signal length is 0 Unknown encoding
But that is bogus because the conf file I made on my laptop with the same IRtoy is

What is going on here? Is it something to do with the Pi's USB bus or something? Is there any way to debug if the IRtoy is misbehaving. I tried using it in irman mode and it just fails to see anything even thought the led flashes.

I have a Panasonic TV I am controlling with one of those Universal remotes. When I point it at the IRtoy in irman it flashes when I press a button but I cannot for the life of me get lircd to work with it.
irrecord says irrecord: gap not found, can't continue even though the LED flashes.
Is this some exotic remote protocol? How can I debug what the issue is?
Is this related to this description of older Panasonic remotes?
I can't post a link here yet so search for "Panasonic's old infrared remote protocol"
I have a Panasonic TV which I am using a Universal remote for but I cannot seem to get any gap length for IRtoy even though the led flashes. Bit frustrating. I am assuming it is an old remote. Will test with your script and see what happens.
