The general consensus seems to be that it is due to the kernel config CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND=y which is marked as 'experimental'.

thanks for your advice, as for now i use the kernel-module via 
/dev/ttyUSBx, which works fine. Beside from gpsbabel there is a nice 
mapping-program called QLandkarte, which uses gpsbabel-like code for 
communication and depends on the native usb: stuff 8-(
