during the alloc8 installation procedure after the "Waiting for iBSS to enter Recovery Mode" message ipwndfu halting with error. As I found, the problem that the USB sub-system not re-initializing and (the host) reporting the same 1227 Apple, Inc. Mobile Device (DFU Mode) while device already got 1281 (Recovery). it's easy to check with lsusb. So re-plugging the device in appropriate moment helps to pass this iteration.
Quick and dirty solution that I have used:
after
print 'Waiting for iBSS to enter Recovery Mode.' (dfuexec.py, line 265)
I have added
print 'wait until the screen get WHITE then re-plug USB'
time.sleep(40)
print 'continue...'

PS Maybe bug mentioned in this topic has the same nature as well.
