I would have expected some response to this. I'm kind of disappointed.
Well, I have a new data point.

I found a PR about the Apple Cinema Display USB device hanging the  
usb stack or some such. Thinking it might solve my problem I  
disconnected the ACD USB device and plugged my keyboard and mouse  
directly in the KVM switch and booted the machine.

Same problem, but on uhub3 this time. It gave a device write error  
instead of a TIMEOUT, but I've seen that before when the ACD was  
still connected too.
So the problem _does not seem to be related_ to the ACD problem(s).

Apparently the KVM switch contains a Cypress Tetra hub (acc. to the  
vendor/device codes in dmesg).
Could someone please shed some light on this?

This time it looked like:
  Athlon64 --- KVM switch --- Keyboard
  Mac -------/            \-- Mouse
