Sounds very much like a power problem.
I've seen lots of USB devices to be oversensitive.
Using a different port or a hub between could help to work around.
FreeBSD can't do anything to disconnect a device other then
triggering a firmware bug, but in case of a firmware bug the device
would either stop responding or just restart.
