No USB devices available to Win7/Win10 guests on Linux host [VBox 6.0.16]

Description
Under VirtualBox 6.0.14-133895, right-clicking on the USB icon on the VBox window status displays a menu showing a list of the USB interfaces/devices available on the host. Each entry in the list has a checkbox which can be used to assign the USB device to the Guest OS.
However, after upgrading to Version 6.0.16-135674 of VirtualBox, right-clicking on the USB icon does not show the list of USB interfaces/devices - instead it shows a menu list with the only entry of "USB Settings..." and a greyed-out entry stating "No USB Devices Connected"
Although I discovered this issue when running Windows 7 and Windows 10 guest VMs, the same issue also arose when running an Ubuntu 16.04.6 guest VM too.
I have attached the following files:
- a screenshot of a Win10 guest VM, showing the the USB device statuses when running under VBox 6.0.14-133895
- a screenshot of a Win10 guest VM, showing the the USB device statuses when running under VBox 6.0.16-135674
- a zipped copy of the VM log for the Win10 guest, runing under VBox 6.0.16-135674.
My host system is a Lenovo Thinkpad E590 laptop with Intel Core i5-8265U CPU & 8Gb RAM, running Ubuntu 16.04.6.
I originally raised this as an issue on the forum, at https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=96663&p=469555#p469555
