Nope. I found this workaround by bisecting.

Attached. Sorry it took so long, it was rather hard to align time when I 
can easily reboot this machine with when I actually had the time to do it.

Note: USB support is compiled in the kernel image, so I couldn't attach 
usbmon very early. Instead, I captured usbmon traces (and dmesgs since 
boot) from connecting and disconnecting an ISO image via the KVM's 
virtual CD drive, which exhibits the same problems (the IPKVM is visible 
as an USB keyboard, an USB mouse and two USB CD-ROM drives).

Best regards,
