Have you tried a "virsh detach-device ..." and then the corresponding
[re-]attach (or maybe even just a new "attach" first)? 

When my guest complains about the USB not being there I can generally
make things work with:

  virsh attach-device <guest> --file usb_device.xml --current

where the "usb_device.xml" file has the six lines you included above
from your "virsh edit". Since your guest isn't running I think you'd
have to use "--config", rather than "--current" on that line.

It's not obvious that that will clear up your assignment problem, but
it might be worth a shot.
