This problem seems to be caused by camera:
Bus 002 Device 030: ID 041e:4068 Creative Technology, Ltd Webcam Live! Notebook

When the camera is disconnected, the hub always correctly attaches to ehci.
When the camera is connected directly to the USB port, the hub sometimes
attaches to ehci and sometimes not.
When the camera is connected to the hub, BIOS hangs on the splash screen
on reboot (i.e. can boot only first time after power cycle).

The camera has also a weird "feature". When disconnected and reconnected in
less than 3 seconds, it fails to initialize:

So I'll probably keep the camera disconnected.
