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).
