I still have no idea how I might figure out what is done during the init of the windows driver. Since I need to unload the btusb module so windows can use the device, I have no chance to use hcidump.
Any ideas what I should try?

There are several decent usb sniffers for windows - although I've never
tried them in a vm. This is a tough route to go though - even with a
complete device capture, separating what's relevant to your problem will
be *very* difficult.
