I am actually using the gpslogger command line tool, which comes with 
gpsd under Linux. I've tried modifying the attribute you described 
manually and re-uploading the gpx file to OSM - and now it is finally 
loading using My Tracks in P2. I suppose it would have been a bit more 
helpful if Potlatch2 would have actually complained that something is 
wrong instead of displaying it in the list of GPS tracks and then 
silently refusing to load it - but at least I've got a workaround now - 
so thank you!
