Also, you mentioned that the corruption occurs systematically on certain
byte patterns. Therefore it's certainly not related to the cables.
It'd guess that too, but who can that say for sure. :-|

You may have a bit pattern that stresses the controllers and suddenly
a marginal cable may matter.

The errors occur in strings of 0xFFs.  From the USB standard:

a “1” is represented by no change in level and a “0” is represented by a change in level

so this error-infested bytes are effectively long, quiet times on the wire. I would have thought this would be the _least_ stressful time for the controllers but maybe they are also more susceptible to noise during this period.
