A U2F Yubikey has a single USB "interface" that provides the U2F functionality. 
Yubikey NEOs/4s out of the box are setup to provide three USB "interfaces": 
U2F, classic Yubikey (two slots, HID based) and CCID (smart card) "interfaces". 
Discussion of USB "interfaces" can be found here:  
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33103711/whats-difference-between-configuration-and-interface-in-usb-device

As I read it, if the device works in sys-usb but doesn't work in other VMs 
using the same template, perhaps the qubes/xen code that handles reassigning 
USB devices doesn't handle multi-interface USB devices well?

Perhaps try temporarily configuring your Yubikey 4 to disable OTP and CCID 
(leaving only the U2F interface enabled) using the Yubikey NEO Manager and see 
if that allows the U2F to function when the USB device is assigned to a VM. IF 
that works, see if other combinations (U2F+CCID, U2F+OTP) work or don't.
