I was curious about your question so I did a couple of Google searches and
found a lot of reports of similar issues. I also have an APC UPS but I
don't have anything connected to its USB port.

1) Was your Ubuntu 12.04 system upgraded from a previous version or a new
install? A few of the reports indicated a problem with an old unsupported
driver that could be disabled to eliminate the error.

2) For diagnostic purposes, you might try connecting the UPS via a USB hub
to see if the error messages go away. You might also try connecting a USB
keyboard or mouse to the system (if you aren't using them already) to see
if you get a similar message. Some hardware apparently has trouble
supporting old slow USB devices.

3) Since you have the UPS connected to the USB port, do you also have some
 special software that is monitoring it, or does the UPS port send a
generic "power down" message after a period of time? If you are running
some special software you might check to make sure it is compatible with
Ubuntu 12.04. Have you recently tested the UPS shutdown by pulling the plug?

I don't have answers that might fix your issues, but I hope those questions
(plus some searches of your own) get you closer to the answer.
