I wonder why not?  Is this the first ever upstream port to
report an uncorrectable error (that didn't mean the link was
down) or is there something more subtle going on.

PCI folk, this one looks like it might cause problems to me.

So this comment makes me worried.  In general case the fatal
error may mean we can't talk to the USP?
