We do that only if: 

        if (test_bit(DEVICE_STATE_PRESENT, &rt2x00dev->flags) &&
            test_bit(DEVICE_STATE_ENABLED_RADIO, &rt2x00dev->flags))
                rt2x00dev->ops->lib->clear_entry(entry);

so looks like DEVICE_STATE_PRESENT is not cleared. That mean
usb driver do not call disconnect callback on unbind. That seems
to be usb driver bug. Anyway please provide requested traces,
so I will see what happen.
