I found something particularly strange while trying out different things:
I started up upsdrvctl, upsd, and upsmon. I then stopped upsdrvctl, and tried
starting the usbhid-ups driver a few times.
Each time I executed the driver, it indicated an instance was already running,
stopped it, and then started it again....which is what it should do.
I then added -DDDD to the command....and then it failed, giving me the same
"Can't claim USB" message. Why does adding the debug commands cause a problem?
It seems like it would either be timing related (extra time taken by
outputting debug messages) or the debug flags are actually affecting execution.

You're right, both the -compat and real libusb packages will use the same
libusb-0.1.so* name.
It's not necessarily a problem, but it does mean that there is different code
between your driver and the kernel. Most of the NUT testing has been done with
the original libusb.

You might be on to something, but if so, the race happens earlier than the
"usbhid-ups -k" invocation. Because the "-k" flag is meant to be called at the
end of the shutdown sequence, it doesn't assume /var is mounted, and
consequently, it doesn't check for other PID files. However, if a driver
happens to still be running, it could cause the "-k" option to report a busy
error.
