It does seem to work with USB serial devices, but only because those drivers on windows in turn emulate a serial port.
So we have the USB driver pretending to be a serial port to Windows pretending to be a TTY to the Linux subsystem.
It's a bit silly, but then I imagine TTY is a whole lot easier to emulate (even with all the cruft on that) than a USB chipset.
