Since one of the main premises of Trezors is that they can be attached to any potentially compromised device without leaking critical information, the private keys stored on the Trezor should not be in danger when using it with an USB dongle (or any other sort of third-party provided USB cable).
Be aware however that I'm only talking about the private keys stored on the Trezor in this case. If, for some reason, your operating system or the dongle is compromised, it might well be that the wallet interface is showing compromised data (eg. showing you the wrong address when setting a recipient). Therefore it is important to always double-check with the display of your Trezor whether the recipient address and amount are correct. Additionally, when moving a larger sum, consider double-checking the recipient's address using at least an additional means of communication (eg. email + instant messenger, email + phone call, etc).
