From the error generated by gmtp: 'error returned by libusb_claim_interface() = -6LIBMTP PANIC: Unable to initialize device'

If we add a newline:

'error returned by libusb_claim_interface() = -6
LIBMTP PANIC: Unable to initialize device'

I looked up libusb error -6. It indicates that the device in question is "BUSY".

Should I report this as a bug to libusb/gmtp? The computer wasn't performing any other read/write operations with the phone when I tried to attach gmtp, so far as I am aware. I might have had nautilus open inside of a directory on the phone's storage, to confirm the device was connected, but that's it.
