[I haven't been paying attention to this thread, but...]

If these are unpowered hubs, could it simply be the port doesn't have
enough juice to run all the hubs and devices you plugged into it?
 
That was the exact problem my friend had recently. He went from a desktop with 6 USB ports to a laptop with 2. He bought a cheap hub that was un-powered and had all sorts of problem. When I found out what he had done I replaced his cheap hub with a decent quality externally powered Belkin (IIRC) hub and all his problems went away
