I did some more digging through this:
- If I shut down hal, the device works.
- If I don't, sometimes it works, but usually uhci_hcd decides to do a reset of 
some kind. This has the unfortunate side effect of making the usb modem go away 
completely.
- If I tell hal to ignore the device by modifying 20-broken-usb-sticks.fdi the 
device works as expected, every time. The virtual cdrom on these things is 
making hal sad.

So: please ignore my previous patch to usb-storage :)
I've attached a debdiff to hal-info. This works for me in hardy - if someone 
else out there could try it and confirm it works for them? You need to modify 
/usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/20-broken-usb-sticks.fdi and restart hal 
(possibly even restart your machine to be on the safe side).
