I'm not sure if this is the same bug, but the information may be useful. For me the camera and audio work, but if my machine is left to sleep for a 'while' (longer than a few minutes?) it seems to disappear - Cheese and Google Hangouts can't find it (can't find audio or video). Logging out does not fix the problem but rebooting does. I forgot to see if it was still in the output from lsusb before I rebooted. Looking back at various syslogs, I found the following - the first line occurs 6 times.
