You just proved it's not the kernel
Karibu, I think you just proved that it is not the kernel, it is upgrading some package. If you want to use 3.4.4 kernel with 7.0.2, klaus2008's advice about kernel modules may be exactly what you need, but this exercise was just for testing, not for surgical kernel upgrade.
I think you may safely file a bug report now. But exact model of USB stick must be reported, and the usb package versions in 7.0.2 and 7.0.3 would be fine, too. (Maybe I can help you with that.)
I'm not so sure your command line skills are that modest, but what I suggested was quite a mouthful :) I could carry it out myself, but I somehow lack the strong motivation, as all my sticks seem to work in 7.0.3. I really appreciate your determination - until enough is enough.

Not very sophisticated. but....

OK, there we are...not very sophisticated. but it works:)
Note:
The applied method does not take in consideration any consequences on KK's special packaging for V7.0.3 but only has now a V7.0.2 Installation with Kernel 3.4.4
Task:
Install V7.0.3 to 32 GB USB flash drive - HP V165W -
Preparations:
--- insert V7.0.3 Live DVD (Kernel 3.4.4)
--- copy /KNOPPIX/boot/isolinux to a neutral place
--- copy /KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX to the same
--- eject V7.0.3 Live DVD
Installation:
--- boot from V7.0.2 Live DVD (Kernel 3.3.7)
--- insert flash drive
--- start Knoppix "Install KNOPPIX to flash disk"
When finished:
--- replace isolinux(7.0.2) and KNOPPIX(7.0.2) with the same files of version 7.0.3 as saved earlier.
--- reboot
Sytem installed as V7.0.2 runs now with Kernel 3.4.4.
Kernel modules may also be different
I must say that it is only the kernel per se that can be ruled out - but it shouldn't be hard to check the suspected kernel modules either.
As for packages, the method I sketched gave three differences:
Code:
> comm usb-modeswitch-data 20120529-1
> libs libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-23
> libs libusb-1.0-0 2:1.0.11-1
The other package versions were the same:
Code:
< comm usb-modeswitch 1.2.3+repack0-1
< libs libusbmuxd1 1.0.7-2
< libs libusbredirparser0 0.4.3-2
< utils usbmuxd 1.0.7-2
< utils usbutils 1:005-3
< x11 xserver-xorg-video-sisusb 1:0.9.4-3
It was only for this I offered help - have no experience with Debian bug reporting...
The Mystery USB-flash Disk
Re.: The Mystery USB-flash Disk which works with V702 but does not work with V703!
I just wonder...
Am I really the only one who tries to install KnoppixV703 on the HP (Device 010: ID 03f0:5307 Hewlett-Packard) 32GB USB flash disk?
Despite the relatively high volume in views to this thread, there is still no hint
for a solution so far.....?
PS.:
I tried to figure out what packages, related to USB controller or USB device recognition, are different in V702 and V703, but as I already mentioned, I'm just not educated/experienced enough to find that out.
