Something much hold the port open on the host (PC) side for it to be
echoed back, but perhaps the outgoing data is buffered in the device
until it is eventually opened.

So you have a firmware bug which sends out some garbage characters
("XX")?
Either way, you should have hit this also before the commit which
started resetting the terminal settings whenever a device was plugged
in instead of reusing a potentially random other device's settings.
However, after clearing echo and replugging the device, nothing would
have been echoed back on next open, but only *if* the device happened to
be assigned the same minor number.
But if this confuses your firmware and there's no way to restart the
handshake in your host tool, perhaps clearing ECHO at tty install time
(i.e. in tty_acm_install()) is the only way to deal with this.
