Nice Find.
It's hardware - it might be addressable in software, but it's fundamentally a hardware problem. Refer to this
http://pinouts.ru/Devices/mini-USB_pinout.shtml for the pinout description, which explains why the solution you found works. Clearly, some power sources are a little smarter than others.
BTW, I don't recommend the solution you found of shorting out the pins...there should be a pull down resistor in there to protect your device.
