So to recap:

* The UHD cannot read the eeprom on USRP1 on your older machine: No
dboard IDs no mboard serial number.

* But same USRP1 works perfectly fine on another computer.

* However, the libgnuradio-usrp driver can read the eeprom perfectly
fine on both computers.

So, the firmware is actually doing the I2C transactions. The reads from
a host perspective are just libusb control transactions. One thing that
comes to mind, what libusb are you running? libgnuradio-usrp uses
libusb0.1, but UHD is exclusively libusb1.0. Perhaps you have old buggy
libusb1.0 implementation on your older machine? Something along those
lines...

My best guess,
