Hello,
One possibility might be the fact that libvirt itself doesn't have managed mode
for USB devices and I'm not sure virt-manager has the appropriate routine handled.

Could you try running
$ virsh nodedev-list
to find the correct usb device and then
# virsh nodedev-detach the_usb_device 
or posibly nodedev-dettach if you run older libvirt?

After that, try starting VM with hostdev element added to XML.
