reason that the kernel would automagically recognise all device-types,
classes, etc.

Try hot-plugging a new device without usbmgr, hotplug, or a similar
daemon running. And by new, I mean one that was created after your
current kernel version. If it uses a different combination from

FWIW, the incorrect USB driver is loaded by default on my laptop. I
have to manually specify the correct driver. Which leads me to
believe that this autoloading hasn't been fully debugged.

this. Could you give a reference?

The changelog for usbmgr contains the following note:
