The original reasons for adding this WARN() no longer apply, and I plan
to remove it before 2.6.29.final.  However I do admit to being curious
to see from the kerneloops records how often it triggers...

It is certainly different.  I can't tell the cause from the information 
in your log.  You should try usbmon (see Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt).

> Since I get now a bit confused about all this warnings , it is OK to add any entry for that device or it is broken ?

The WARN() does not indicate anything wrong with your device.  In fact, 
you can remove the WARN() entirely from your kernel, if you like.  Or 
you can add a local unusual_devs entry.

As for the lsusb problem, I don't know.
