I get t-stats of zero for the MA coefficients, but if I do a joint
test, they are highly significant.

That does not seem right to me at all.

I am including the data with this email. Given this data:

arima y, arima(2,1,2)

ARIMA regression

Sample:  2 to 233                               Number of obs      =       232
                                               Wald chi2(4)       =    645.52
Log likelihood = -409.4094                      Prob > chi2        =    0.0000
