Eh I think I saw something like this myself.
Do you by a chance have that new device sg in your kernel?
I assume you do (GENERIC) - try to drop it.
I am not sure if this is some brokenness of that driver or fighting of
several USB drivers over the same hardware.

P.S. sorry for the wide broadcast, but I think that users on all 3 lists
