What current do you measure? 
Is it consistent over several measurements?
What kernel are you using?

For those tests, yes.  I've done a number of tests with the modem disabled,
and some with the modem enabled.

With the modem disable and the ehci-hcd module loaded and unloaded, on a 3.7
kernel I get 

19411 69
21567 24
43056 1

With the modem enabled I get

23728 44
25884 120
28057 31
30207 6
32358 1
36684 1
51699 1
75488 1


With the pulldown removed I get

17251 45
19410 143
21561 36
23717 5
25888 2
30203 2
43038 1
45527 1
49525 1
243729 1


And all of these numbers are very close to multiples of 2.15mA.
