VIA hasn't been forthcoming ... we can do no better!  :)

The main issue I've had with it has been timing-related
problems, related to queue processing, and a patch I'll
post later today might make some of those go away.

Those symptoms are unrelated to what you show below.

I expect you mean FC3, since 2.6.9 didn't exist with FC2 ... ;)

Some boards have been reporting problems like that, and I'm
not sure what's causing it ... since plenty of boards do NOT
have that issue, and it doesn't appear to be chip-specific.
Is your VT6202 on a PCI add-in card, or a motherboard?

My best guess is that the "fatal error during startup" issue
has to do with power switching, since those started to crop
up at about the time the driver started to forcibly power all
ports off during startup (to handle some devices that didn't
seem to want to enumerate without a power cycle).  Maybe the
powerdown needs a delay, or the powerup delay needs to be more
than the 20 msec guaranteed by the EHCI spec ... but violating
those timings doesn't seem like the sort of thing that'd make
any EHCI controller resort suicide.
