So maybe USB does not get stopped completely when "usb stop" is
issued. Are you using the generic USB driver (CONFIG_USB_OHCI_NEW) ?
Maybe you need some board dependant code to correctly stop USB?

So the kernel doesn't get notified of the already plugged device if it
has been started under U-Boot. I suppose this supports the theory of
"usb stop" not working.

I would try to find why :-)
