Thanks Johan; sorry for top posting.
An even more ancient kernel (2.6.18) has v1.4.3 of the ftdi_sio.c and I
do not see this problem. In v1.4.3,
ftdi_sio_attach() is doing the work that is now in
ftdi_sio_port_probe(), but 1.4.3 does not have the
ftdi_set_max_packet_size() code. The device works fine under 2.6.18. I
have to see if I can scrounge up
a machine running a later kernel (other than my desktop).
Should have included this earlier but its unmodified CentOs 6.0 and 6.4,
kernel is:

Linux nicA91A84 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 10 17:35:05 CDT
2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


lsusb -v cut for the device in question.
