The leak is in usb urbs, not usbdevfs urbs, so you cannot fix the leak without changing a kernel driver (devio.c) to reuse urbs. But it does explain why cheese/uvcvideo does not leak until the system crashes - just when it starts up. Changing devio.c to reuse urbs is probably more effort than fixing the real cause and patching ehci as described in the earlier link.
