Can't verify this, since I have ditched the USB mass storage toy already (borrowed it from a friend to see whether USB works on my FreeBSD PCs, with mixed results as you know). If I remember well, it is a no-no to unplug the device without first unmounting it. Unless you use amd for this, maybe. BTW: there seems to be very little response to these problems on the mailinglists. Either only few people have these problems (problems only rise with specific USB controllers?), and/or it has not a high priority fixing. Cheers, Rob. Rob.
