Well looking at the debian bug track system I see
no bug report about the problem. I do see a few
complaints on the mailing list for it. For example
http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2498
seems to have found a work around for the kernel crash quite recently,
so maybe there is a chance a real fix will happen, since it seems to be
a kernel bug if you can crash the system.

Well that's impolite of it. Sounds like the thing in the above linked post.
Rebuilding the backported jessie version for raspbian (if they don't
already have that) should be pretty simple too.
