I was asking hypothetically, if the NUT code were changed to use /dev/
hiddev* instead of /proc/bus/usb or /dev/bus/usb.
Sorry, I don't really know how hid devices are handled. Also, there don't
seem to be any udev rules for such devices.

I am coming in late to this conversation, but it seems similar to the
issue I have been struggling with for the past few hours on a Slackware
12.2 installation, so I am posting this in hopes that it helps anyone
else facing the same problem.
I am using NUT 2.4.1 on a USB connected CyberPower 685. I built it from
source using --with-usb and configured it to use a non-root user and
group. The driver, upsd, and upsmon all worked properly when run from
the rc.M startup scripts, and they had no trouble logging when I
disconnected and reconnected the line power.
The trouble was that during simulation of power failures that exceeded
the battery runtime using "upsmon -c fsd" (the system was plugged into a
*different* power source for this testing), the shutdown script would
take note of the /etc/killpower file, but the command to power off the
UPS would not get through.
During the Slackware rc.0 shutdown script, there is a point where it
uses "killall5" to send -15 and then -9 signals to all remaining
processes that don't have their own separate shutdown scripts (like
httpd and mysql). At this point the console starts spewing USB
disconnect and reconnection messages all to do with the CyberPower UPS.
The killall5 command also causes the shutdown script to fail when it
comes to the point of "upsdrvctl shutdown". I would see the following
error messages mixed in amongst the disconnect and reconnect messages:
No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
Then the rc.0 script would sleep for a bit and power the computer off,
but the UPS would remain on. If it were a real, extended, blackout, the
batteries would go through more full discharges than they need.
My eventual solution was to re-start udev daemon and helper programs
after the root filesystem had been unmounted and remounted read-only.
Here is my /etc/rc.d/rc.0 script with modifications to make the USB UPS
shut off properly:
