Intriguing! :)

+1. FWIW for others until there's a better fix, I worked around this
by using the EZ-USB SDK tools to reflash the default firmware:

# cd ./ztex/default/usb-fpga-1.15y
# ./prog-1.15y.sh
Firmware to EEPROM upload time: 2155 ms
Writing configuration data.

... and then power-cycling the board.

I only had this problem with one my devices, and it has persistently
been the same device.

That's similar to my performance.
