I believe you. It should not be happening, but I am sure it is. At
this point, I can only give guesses as to why. One thing you may
want to make a note of - is the drive order consistently one way
when doing a cold boot, and another when doing a warm boot? (Reboot)
If so, it is possible that the USB drives have not spun up, or the
electronics properly initialized on a cold boot. This would also be
a possibility if the ordering was consistant on a warm boot, but
random on a cold boot.

This is definitely a bug. The usb_storage module should not be
included in initrd on your machine.
