That is correct, nothing gets auto-detected after boot. lsusb -vvv *does* cause devices in the second group below to be 
reliably detected, and the first group only if at least one of the devices in the second group are present.

Correct. Ignoring hotplug (ie on fresh boot or lsusb -vvv), the devices in the second group work great. The devices in 
the first group do too, but only if a device from the second group is present.

Sorry for the confusion,
