A very informative and detailed response, thank you. The problem shows up clearly in your "dmesg" file; something is calling usb_unlock_device() without calling usb_lock_device() first. Unfortunately the diagnostic patch didn't include a dump_stack() call in usb_unlock_device(), so I can't tell who the guilty party is. Here's a shorter patch for you to try. It ought to pinpoint the culprit. This is probably some stupid mistake on my part that will end up being obvious, but I just can't see where it is...
