I believe that the usb host controllers get de- and reregistered with
the usb bus during coldplug. That's when BRLTTY looses connection to the
device and doesn't (or is unable to) reconnect. It's quite some time
since I have looked into the matter and I'm still running udev 093, so
there may well have been some development I don't know about yet. I'm
rather busy at the moment, I'm afraid, but I hope to be able to dig into
the matter more thoroughly in a month's time, or so, and might even get
round to update my system to see if anything changed wrt to this issue.
