Please verify whenever the same issue exists with a more recent qemu version, for example the one which is available in jessie-backports. Qemu is a fast-moving target, and in particular, usb passthrough has been revisited 2 times since 2.1 version. Lowering the severity to normal, since this problem does not _break_ anything per se, especially it does not break host system, it merely cases guest system to be turned off after a well-defined sequence of events which, as a work-around, can be avoided.
