I don't use Ubuntu so I don't know what it looks for to know not to present the 
prompt.

Especially if it then proceeds to write out a bad braille-device record again.

Are you confirming that it's case sensitive or that it's not case sensitive? 
What happens if you specify USB: (uppercase)?

Which table? You can specify the table with either the -t option or the 
text-table line in brltty.conf.
