But no messages from the time just before the BUG occurred. :-(

After looking at the debugging output, no. That "invalid opcode" is a red
herring. What you encountered this time was a BUG() in the source code of
start_unlink_async() in drivers/usb/host/ehci-q.c:
#ifdef DEBUG
assert_spin_locked(&ehci->lock);
if (ehci->reclaim
|| (qh->qh_state != QH_STATE_LINKED
&& qh->qh_state != QH_STATE_UNLINK_WAIT)
)
BUG ();
#endif
You could try putting a printk() just before the BUG() to display the
values of ehci->reclaim and qh->qh_state. Maybe also change the BUG() to
WARN(), which might help prevent your system from crashing so badly.
Monty has been making changes to this driver recently; maybe he has some
ideas about the problem.
