"Stalls" isn't the right word.  It responds with "Phase Error" in
bCSWStatus.  Less precisely but more succinctly, it returns a Phase
Error.

Only when running USB 3.  The devices work okay with USB 2.

This "T 0x2f" line doesn't belong here (it appears below).  Copy & 
Paste error?

And this "Bulk Status" line doesn't belong here.  Again, it appears 
below.

It returns an error on the last command.  (It also stalls, but that's
okay -- stalling an endpoint during a command is normal and it should
work fine with USB 3.)

That link doesn't work.  The standard is not freely available.
