Could be. I wish I knew how to be sure. If it helps, I tried putting
the dongle behind a USB switch, which made no difference whatsoever.

The reset button on the box doesn't work. If I reset through the JTAG
interface, the Wifi dongle fails to work.

Fails.

Plugging the dongle always makes it work, no matter how the system was
initialized.
Or, to summarize all of this: the dongle works if and only if
ath9k_htc is initializing it for the very first time since it was
physically plugged in or powered on. No reset, USB reset or software
reset of any kind seems to help.
