Looks strange enough.
As for me, one fake PL-2303-clone adapter I have
works (equally bad) in Linux & Windows (and only old patched Windows drivers recognize it).
Another counterfeit one seems to get recognized & work in Linux & Windows (with latest drivers),
though I haven't tested it thoroughly.
Well, back to yours: more info still needed needed for debugging
(though I'm not a maintainer, but just another average Debain user).
1) Maybe it can't work at high speeds?
E. g., in Windows you normally use it at 9600 baudrate, while trying to run it at 115200 in Linux.
2) Also, the pl2303 kernel module seems to have a debug option, maybe it can be of some help...

Best wishes, Bob
