I wonder if this one cable was miswired or it's something consistently wrong with the product. Either way that something like that could make it out of the factory demonstrates terrible or no QA/QC.
I've never used the Twinkie but it looks pretty cool. This shows that it may be worth adding some simple protection to the circuit to prevent simple miswires from damaging it or the host PC.
The question isn't what was wrong with the cable, but whether it was just this one specific cable, or whether it's all of the cables in from this production run.
