That's  because the original port is still marked as in use for a few seconds
after you unplug it.   If you wait a little bit before plugging it back in 
it should come back as ttyUSB0 again.  At least that's the way all my
systems work.

Theoretically you should be able to do this with udev rules except almost
all of the usb serial devices lack a unique ID that would let you create
a rule that would name them consistently.
