Ah, so much about my theory :-) I did a few tests with my own wall
adapter, all with a 10R load and a parallel capacitance of 0F, 100uF,
or 470uF. Here are the results:

Seems that the charger doesn't like capacitative loads that violate
the USB spec by more than an order of magnitude. But besides that,
it's performing nicely.
