If the Romio II is connected directly to the computer, instead
of through a USB hub at the end of a 5-m cable,

  alsa-midi-latency-test -o 24:0 -i 24:1

works fine.

What are you supposed to do in a case like this ? Get a better
hub ? Get a better MIDI interface ? Work around the problem in
software ? What a mess !

It is a 7-port powered USB hub (Heden HUBUSB7PCB / HUBUSB7PCW).
