Good question :-)

I'm using Gentoo, but I don't think your problem is distribution-related.

I've checked the Ubuntu 2.6.28-11-generic kernel and it adds two patches to 
the 2.6.28 uvcvideo driver. One of them sets a quirk for an unrelated webcam, 
and the other one is https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2008-
November/003563.html.

Your problem is then probably caused by a regression in the uvcvideo driver 
between 2.6.28 and now. Could you try bisect the problem ? If you're not 
familiar with the concept it will be easier to start by trying vanilla kernels 
2.6.28, 2.6.29, 2.6.30 and 2.6.31, and tell me at which version your webcam 
starts failing (2.6.28 should work).
