It's possible that this is more of a problem of your thumb drive than of the USB stack.
Indeed. Especially if the drive is actually a high speed device then frequently it will not work perfectly running at full speed.
An interesting data point would be for you to attach the drive when the system is running Linux, *without* the ehci_hcd driver loaded, only ohci_hcd.
