After the BOOTCAMP virtual machine is paused and then later un-paused the USB "smart connection" mechanism which asks where to connect a new USB device stops asking (for any new USB devices). The "smart connection" is restored if I shut down that virtual machine and then restart it, so my feeling is that the problem is with the virtual machine (and probably VMware Tools inside) not re-registering the VM with the real machine after the un-pause.
