There was a typo in the changelog, but this got fixed now by Martin (in 14.10 so far):

usb-creator (0.2.61) utopic; urgency=medium

  * Don't specify an erase type. Using "zero" will take an awfully long time,
    time out, and isn't necessary. (LP: #294877)
  * Revert "Ignore errors from synchronisations after wipefs calls". This
    udisks hack doesn't work (it now silently fails to format the device,
    instead of showing the error message), and won't stay in udisks.
    (See LP #1059872)
