I'm going to bring this up one last time.
Google currently already shows 1060 hits for this new error:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22unable+to+enumerate+USB+device%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
This one is particularly interesting as it shows quite a few systems
are affected: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446845
Given its apparent prevalence I'm still wondering whether this is
really broken hardware in all cases or that there could be an error
in detection in some cases.
Note that in my case this is not with an external hub or anything, but just
the internal USB ports of the system.
One thing with this message is that because of its "error" status, it
also shows when the system is booted with the "quiet" option. Could it be
an option to apply the following patch so that at least that is avoided?

usb core: lower severity of 'unable to enumerate USB device' message
This message is relatively common and in most cases can be safely
ignored. Lower its severity from 'err' to 'notice' so it is not printed
on the console when systems are booted with the "quiet" boot parameter.
