Comparing the lsmod output from your two sets of logs (with grep lsmod
hardware-summary) the lists of modules are very different, specifically
at least ehci_hcd and ehci_orion are not loaded (IIRC the internal
microSD is behind a USB device too on dreamplug). There's a bunch more
too but I think they follow on from the lack of USB.
I've checked the usb-modules udeb[0] which I think your kernel will
have been using and it does contain them. Your logs don't suggest a
reason why they are not being loaded (sometimes there are "missing
symbols" and such if there is skew in testing).
Perhaps you could drop to a shell and try manually loading those
modules and see what, if anything, it says?
Unfortunately my non-production dreamplug is on the fritz (hangs at hw
-detect, it's been flakey for a while). It seems to be well enough to
manage (slooooowly) an upgrade from the existing Jessie install, once
I've got it up to stretch perhaps I'll be able to see something like
this failure for myself with that kernel.
I also tried on my QNAP (same processor family) which is up to date
already but it seems quite happy with its USB.

your logs seem to indicate this is the version of the kernel you had.
