I have a lot of nasty problems like this with libusb-win32 and BRLTTY. 
The worst is that if I unplug my display while BRLTTY is running, it 
causes any further USB device attachment/removal to simply do nothing. 
It's like it causes USB to lock up. Does anyone know if libbraille 
exhibits the same issues?

Does your display emulate a serial port for other screen readers? If so, 
you could try configuring BRLTTY to use that emulated serial port. I do 
this with my Brailliant and it allows other screen readers to use the 
display as it should. I haven't tried libusb-win32 in a while.
