Usb webcam doesn't work with chromium

I have a cheap Rosewill usb webcam w/ built in microphone. (Model RCM-2655V)
It works fine with applications such as mplayer, vlc, and firefox.
I also have a builtin webcam, which works fine in all cases.
In chromium, it is detected as a connected camera.
When selected as the camera source by any in-browser application, it fails to start.
What I mean is, when I select it as the source in google hangouts (the new version), the feed switches to black, then a gray square, and there is no camera feed.
Any time this is attempted, dmesg gives this:

[75558.053908] usb 3-1: reset high-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
[75558.247486] restoring control 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000101/10/5
[75558.547081] uvcvideo: Failed to query (SET_CUR) UVC control 5 on unit 3: -110 (exp. 1).
[75558.547095] uvcvideo 3-1:1.0: reset_resume error -5

The most relevant result I found is this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=187635
but it is outdated.
Any other info I found is also outdated or too distantly related.

I don't have any tools to troubleshoot this with, as it appears to be a chromium issue.
What do? File bug report with chromium?
Or could it be the kernel module?
