Yes, that would explain it.
Out of curiosity, what do you get if you do this:
rmmod ehci-hcd
rmmod ohci-hcd
modprobe ohci-hcd
Does that just give the same sequence of repeating error messages?

Oh dear. Too bad you didn't mention this before.
There are limitations on how long a USB cable can be. You may be up
against those limits.
The way around the limits is to use a hub. One cable from the computer to
the hub, one cable from the hub to the keyboard. That way each cable is
safely within the length limit and you're okay.
