That's just bizarre, USB is a standard, and to carry the USB logo the device/cable must conform to the USB standard. There is no reason why what you say should be the case. The N900 uses a standard cable, I got two micro USB cables with my Mifi and they both work fine with my N900, I guess it is possible Nokia made the N85 USB port non-standard requiring a non-standard cable, but if they did why would the cable have the same label as the N900 cable.

Charging on the N900 is controlled by software, I think in this case it is a software issue, so it may be solved by flashing the firmware. But bare in mind those that had a similar issue caused by a faulty USB port, if it is a faulty port you want to get it repaired while still in warranty, though if it isn't it might be that all Nokia do is reflash it with clean firmware and it is much quicker to do that yourself than send it to Nokia to do.
