I'm amazed that usbip works with usbfs at all, I didn't think that was a

If you have a reproducer, or some error messages somewhere, that might
be the easiest way forward.  In reading the bug report, it looks like
the "bridge" you all made can't handle the device disconnecting itself
properly?  But that's just a guess, could be anything.
