I tried following your instructions, but they did not produce a hang-trace.txt.
I entered
sudo strace /usr/sbin/hald $(pidof hald) 2>&1 | tee hang-trace.txt
and there was an output (attached as console.txt) but was immediately returned
to the $ prompt.
When I plugged in the card reader there was no more output in the console.
