vMotion and USB connections through Console

I have someone that has a console session open and a USB device connected to the VM on a ESXi 5.5 host.  If that VM is vMotioned to a new host, is it normal for the USB to drop connection?  Again to be clear, the USB device is connected to his laptop and the VM is hosted on a server.  The USB is not directly connected to the host.

I have not tested this on ESXi 6 yet but I know this is a problem on 5.5.

Thanks in advance.
