Yes, that's my interpretation too.

You did test an UHCI controller, I think, but I don't remember---did you
test an EHCI controller without companions, using something like
"-device ich9-usb-ehci1,id=myehci -device usb-keyboard,bus=myehci.0"?
If that works, the issue would be specific to EHCI companion
controllers.  If that doesn't work, there is at least a generic in the
EHCI driver---of course there could possibly be another in the companion
controllers, but I'd try getting EHCI alone to work.
