I've finally found the cause of this and supplied a patch to fix it.
If you pull and build a new bcm kernel, it should now work the same
on models A and B, with or without a usb hub.

I believe the model A pi is now in stock in the US too, so the long
standing "$25 computer" claim is now actually true.  Caveat: it's
for niche applications only - if you need to add an external
ethernet dongle or a hub to support more usb devices, it would
be cheaper just to get a model B instead.
