First of all I found that I do not need to switch between guests. It is
100% reproducible with a single Linux VM. In freshly booted FreeBSD the USB
ports (ones passed through) do not sense any device plugged in. When I boot
Linux VM, it fully controls those ports, and I see the USB flash in Linux.
As soon as I halt Linux, the flash drive appears in the host!

Today I've checked out the latest sources and recompiled the whole system. 
Nothing has changed.

Here is the corresponding output of pciconf iand devinfo after Linux exits:

$ pciconf -vl
....
ppt0 at pci0:0:20:0:	class=0x0c0330 card=0x21f317aa chip=0x1e318086
rev=0x04 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = '7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI Host
Controller'
    class      = serial bus
    subclass   = USB
....

$ devinfo | grep -B15 mass
