QEMU/KVM/Virt-Manager: Passthrough of USB Webcam to Windows 7 Enterprise creates "NEC USB HUB"

I am trying to passthrough my USB Webcam into my Windows 7 Enterprise x86-64 QEMU/KVM guest, which is managed by virt-manager.

First I lookup the bus/device ID:

$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 008: ID 046d:0825 Logitech, Inc. Webcam C270
[...]

Then I open the running guest in virt-manager and click Hardware Details > Add Hardware > USB Host Device and select the correct device ID. Here the first oddity shows up: virt-manager shows no name for the device, only the ID.

Immediately after I click "Finish", Windows 7 detects a new device being plugged in and installs a driver for it. Sadly it detects it as "NEC USB HUB", instead of as a webcam.

My question is:

• How do I correctly passthrough a device from Linux to Windows, so that it shows up as a webcam there?

The host OS is Ubuntu 14.04 x86-64 and the guest is Windows 7 Enterprise x86-64, both having installed all updates.

Ubuntu runs Linux 3.13.0-43-generic, virt-manager 0.9.5-1ubuntu3 and qemu 2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.9.

During the installation of Windows, I installed the Windows virtio drivers version 0.1-94, and after the installation of Windows added the Windows spice-guest-tools version 0.74. Another oddity that the guest shows is that it is unable to shutdown after installing the spice-guest-tools.

This same question was already asked on Stack Overflow, which seems to be the wrong place for this type of questions.

This problem is caused because the virtual USB hubs default to USB 1.1 - if you change it to USB 2 before launching the VM the camera should appear ok. But USB 3+ devices still cause problems.
