Using a different bank of USB ports on the same machine let me access it. I guess there's a wiring fault with the two I tried, which turned out to be the same bank. I wonder if uhci is worse at handling this, as I'm sure I've had a more obvious failure when I miswired an ohci-driven board.
Anyway, I'll take a look next time I dismantle the machine, as I have a workaround for today. Thanks!
