I'm afraid did not make into the 3.3.1 stable (from what I can see).
This is also true for another bug that I came across (also in relation to the usb wifi XO-1 module) that brakes (!) the flow control when usb-debug is enabled. ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/2/427 )
This is also fixed in 3.4-rc1 but not present in 3.3.1.
Hopefully 3.3.2 :-)
