"And it looks like those updates are in Ubuntu-4.8.0-28:"
I think not.
I do not find mention of this bug in the changelog for 4.8.0-28-generic (I searched for IO_WATCHDOG_DELAY, and USB and ohci - nothing for the latest version)
and an attempted print failed exactly the same way, with a dead-in-the-water USB mouse, and with most of the USB devices no longer listed for lsusb.
My usb reset script (not mine - I found it online somewhere, and modified it a bit to fit my situation) brought things back again and the syslog entries look just like before... :
