Certainly it changes timings.

It sounds like the problem occurs in hald, and the later oops is just a
symptom whose cause came much earlier.

I don't suppose you're familiar enough with 64-bit assembler to be able to
decode the low-level instruction listing and tell me which line of the
bus_reset routine corresponds to offset 73?
Failing that, maybe you can try applying this patch. It will print some
extra debugging information in the system log, even with
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG not set.
