Is that still the case?
Is there somewhere I can buy a compatible serial port cable?
Or do I have to make one myself?

Should works :-)

I don't think it does.

For me the excessive voltage level on the adapter TX/PBP RX pin causes the kernel to crash during boot up. My laptop wasn't physically damaged by the over-volting from the adapter but since it doesn't work anyway I saw no reasons to take risks and stopped using it.

I now use a 3.3v TTL adapter from eBay with a hand soldered 3.5mm adapter.
