Actually two of the hubs disconnect: 3-4.1 and 3-4.4.4. Neither is
beneath the other.

No it isn't. The mouse is 3-4.4.1, which is not below either 3-4.1 or
3-4.4.4.

In fact, nothing is plugged into either of the hubs.

In theory this could be caused by a problem in the dock. But it would
be better to get more information before trying to pin down the cause.

You should use usbmon (see Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt) to record a
trace of everything happening on bus 3. And to keep things simple, you
should unplug all the USB devices except for one of the magical
disappearing hubs.
