I've been getting similar reports from users of the ov511 driver: error 
-84 (babble), error -110 (timeout), and truncated frames. The common 
variable in all cases is a VIA chipset. I would try to track the problem 
down, but my host controllers are all either OHCI or Intel UHCI.

In most of the reports, uhci only caused these errors when streaming 
video from the camera. usb-uhci usually wouldn't enumerate the device at 
all. So, I think both drivers have this "bug", but are affected by it to 
varying degrees.

There must be errata for VIA uhci controllers that aren't known outside 
of VIA and Microsoft. Perhaps someone more influential than I (and more 
versed in UHCI internals) could contact VIA and get the necessary info.
