As a workaround, set up a udev rule to:
 - set the group and mode on the device
 - create a non-changing symlink name to the changing device name
 - tell ModemManager not to touch the device

Create a file, say /etc/udev/rules.d/99-local.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="067b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2303", GROUP="users", MODE="0660", 
SYMLINK+="gps"
ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="067b", 
ATTRS{idProduct}=="2303", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"

Activate with
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

Debug rules with
sudo udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/gps --attribute-walk
