In my experience this sort of thing tends to be caused by low-level
hardware communications errors.  Noise in the USB data lines or a
missing handshake packet, stuff like that.  Not much extra debugging
can be done; the "3strikes"  indication comes directly from the
controller hardware.

It's possible that a CPU speed transition could interfere with DMA
during a transfer.  You could see if disabling CPU_FREQ makes any
difference.
