The attached patch should be better (sorry it's bzipped, but thunderbird crashed three times when I tried to attach it raw), since it initializes the remote before calling usb_register. Could you give it a try?
What I don't know is, if usb_register fails (so making module_init fail), will module_exit be called nevertheless? If not, those symbols would be kept and should be freed in module_init in case usb_register fails.
