I have a V220 which works with moto4lin. V3 may behave differently.
The problem is: this phone appears under two different USB IDs. After
switching from AT to P2K mode the USB-ID changes from 22b8:4902 to
22b8:4901. If udev is quicker than moto4lin reacts - all things are fine.
If it is not, then moto4lin tries to read from the old device file which
does not exist any more and produces errors. It happens to me very often.
In this case, simply close moto4lin and restart it. The phone stays in
P2K mode and you should be able to connect to it now.
Another problem: access rights. I don't know if SElinux causes problems
here, because I've deactivated it. The device files created for my phone
are ttyACM* and are not accessible to "normal" users. I had to create an
udev config file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-motorola.rules with the following
rules
KERNEL=="ttyACM*", GROUP="users", MODE="0660"
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4902", SYSFS{idVendor}=="22b8", RUN \
+= "/bin/chmod 660 $env{DEVNAME}"
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4902", SYSFS{idVendor}=="22b8", RUN \
+= "/bin/chgrp users $env{DEVNAME}"
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4901", SYSFS{idVendor}=="22b8", RUN \
+= "/bin/chmod 660 $env{DEVNAME}"
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4901", SYSFS{idVendor}=="22b8", RUN \
+= "/bin/chgrp users $env{DEVNAME}"

You should at least try to run it as root to rule out problem with access
rights.
The settings I've made in my moto4line are:
ACM Device: /dev/ttyACM0
AT Vendor ID: 22b8
AT Product ID: 4902
P2K Vendor ID: 22b8
P2K Product ID: 4901
