What happens when you never plug in the device?
I think you have another device causing interrupts whose driver
doesn't handle them. While the usb host controller is busy due
to your device, it generates enough interrupts to keep the logic
for detection of spurious interrupts happy. When you unplug your
device you get too many unhandled interrupts.
