Have you tried out my suggestion of testing with a linux-based host?  
That's the best way to tell what's really going on, short of using a 
bus analyzer.

I assume these '#' characters were added after the fact, because they
don't match properly.

Things aren't that simple.  Unloading g-ether should cause the UDC
driver to call its own disconnect routine (i.e., to remove the D+
pullup).  If it doesn't, that's a bug in the UDC driver and it should
be fixed.  I don't recognize arcotg-udc; is it part of the standard
kernel?

The only advantage to adding these calls to g-ether is that it means
you don't have to go through the rigmarole of unloading and reloading
the g_ether.ko module (which could be advantageous if for some reason
you don't want to use loadable kernel modules).  Functionally the
result should be the same either way.

Right now there is no correct place in g-ether to put these calls.  
You would have to figure out a way to add them, possibly triggered by a
write to a new sysfs attribute file.  IMO, unloading and reloading the 
module is easier.
