This sounds like the software you are using is coded to very old Unix
standards. The old /dev/pty[qrst]? devices files haven't been around
for a while. The Unix98 standard introduced a new and better way for
programs to allocate pseudo master/slave terminate devices.
Read: man pts
This likely isn't a udev thing. In fact it's not really specific to
just Linux, except that Linux finally has dropped support for the old
deprecated interfaces. Many other non-Linux Unices have also adopted
the new way as well.
Do you have source to the application?
