It's likely the switch from using usb.conf to devmatch.conf (see r329148).

I can confirm the problem, inserting the ralink usb wifi dongle doesn't 
do anything (I'm not using it anymore so I didn't notice the problem), 
though the action in devmatch.conf is executed, so it might be the 
problem somewhere below in devmatch(8).
