Same problem with my USB camera, and one of my USB hard disks.
My SATA external USB drive will eject properly. My IDE external USB drive exhibits the above symptoms.
suggesting it has something to do with the response given by the IDE->USB interface; although it seems to be with ALOT of devices.
and as stated above, a CLI umount is not really acceptable.
