This is a well-known problem. Either the switch resets the
protocol in a way the driver doesn't understand or it results in
junk during the switch and the driver can't deal with that because
it doesn't have any error checking code. This won't get fixed
until somebody volunteers to look into it and fix it. For
starters, somebody needs to investigate what exactly happens
to the signal during switches.
