So, I finally tracked it down: What these sorts of messages

If I connect it via an external powered hub, it works perfectly.
Hmm, I wonder if that means it really does draw more current than it
should from a USB port, or whether the current hub can't supply enough
power? If the port is on a hub with several things demanding power,
that can be a problem (whether that be internal or external hubs).
