Great hint. Thanks!
Turned out I had firmware version 0.22
With firmware 0.29 or 0.33 the adapter works with unmodified kernel 3.13.

The only problem I have now is that when connected to a particular
access point I get a lot of warnings like this:
[  327.309858] ieee80211 phy0: rt2800usb_entry_txstatus_timeout:
Warning - TX status timeout for entry 13 in queue 2
and this:
[  327.332847] ieee80211 phy0: rt2800usb_txdone: Warning - Got TX
status for an empty queue 2, dropping
I didn't have this problem before (with older kernels and old firmware).
