OK, it seems that the kernel detected it alright then.

It could be a race condition in udev for creating those devices. Could
you do

  udevadm monitor --udev -e 2>&1 | tee /tmp/udev.log

and then do this unplug/plug dance a few times? We need an occurrence
of the "works" and "fails" case. Once it failed, control-c the monitor
and file a bug against udev and attach /tmp/udev.log.

Thanks,

Martin
