The information in /proc/bus/usb/devices is generally easier to read, 
because it's more compact.

Yup, it sure does.  No question, this is a USB 1.1 device.

That's right, the string is set by the vendor.  Note that it only claims 
to be full speed (FS), however.  That's not inconsistent, by the way; it's 
perfectly legal for a USB-2.0 device not to support high-speed operation.

There was another case reported recently, just like yours.  The 
manufacturer claimed the device was USB-2.0 but the descriptors said 
otherwise.  I don't remember the vendor or the device, but maybe you can 
find out by searching through the mailing list archive.
