I've figured out through other hardware forums why this might matter. Have you ever read how some device manuals state not to hook the device to a hub? It's due to voltage and current requirements. Hubs and some Mobo's front ports can't support the needs of devices such as these, therefore the back ports that are mounted directly on the mobo are generally the most stable and at times the only ports that will work.
I had this same issue with my RAZR cell phone, it wouldn't work through the front ports, only the rear. Even though my MOMO Forced feedback steering wheel, Saitek joystick and camcorder all work flawlessly on the front USB2.0 ports. The later devices don't require any actual current to operate as they have their own power sources, but the RAZR and Zune require extra resources for charging purposes, which can cause them to not register properly in the software, even though Windows acknowledges the device.
Food for thought.
