Thanks for the bug report.  I confirmed this bug is present in
qemu.git/master and have submitted a patch to fix it.

Please consider sending backtraces when you encounter segfaults in the
future, they make it possible to identify the bug immediately in many
cases.  Here's how I reproduced this and got the backtrace:

$ gdb --args x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -usb
(gdb) r
(qemu) device_add usb-hub,bus=usb.0,port=4
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
