Nico improved the stack a lot, in particular the OHCI implementation 
(and then bug fixes pretty much everywhere).

All that stuff happens because havekey() is the first opportunity for 
the system to run usb_poll(), and then to enumerate the devices.
If you want to control this better, just run usb_poll() separately.

This only means that the device provides multiple interfaces. In USB 
you have to select one, and the HID driver simply defaults to the first. 
We didn't find a useful clue what to do in limited environments when 
encountering such a situation - ie. any standard that proposes that the 
first interface should provide a "typical keyboard".
