I'm posting to corroborate Steve's findings and to advocate for a fix in Ubuntu.
I've experienced the same issues with the ti_usb_3410_5052 driver under Hardy(kernel 2.6.24-16 through -19, thus far). Texas Instruments' MSP-FET430UIF and EZ430 programmer/emulators are broken with the current Hardy ti_usb_3410_5052 driver. Applying a driver (made available by Steve) from the vanilla kernel I was able to get my programmers working again. It breaks every time I upgrade my kernel package and I must re-apply the driver fix.
This is going to cause a lot of heartache and frustration for MSP430 developers. Getting a development system up and going for MSP430 is already a tough exercise. This problem had my development shut down until I ran across a news list post by Steve explaining his findings and a fix.
