USB drive with lvm on an encrypted partition does not unmount cleanly when removed, making it impossible to use again without a reboot or use of command line tools

[Ben Blout]

I have a USB drive with two partitions, one unencrypted and one encrypted. The encrypted partition serves as the physical volume for a LVM volume group.

cfdisk shows me:
                                Disk: /dev/sdb
              Size: 74.5 GiB, 80026361856 bytes, 156301488 sectors
                       Label: dos, identifier: 0x0006866a

    Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
>> /dev/sdb1 * 2048 500094 498047 243.2M 83 Linux
    /dev/sdb2 501758 156301311 155799554 74.3G 5 Extended
    └─/dev/sdb5 501760 156301311 155799552 74.3G 83 Linux

When I plug in the drive, one partition is mounted automatically. A popup window also appears, prompting for a password to unlock the volume. After I enter the password, four more volumes appear on my Desktop, and in /media/username:

$ ls -l /media/username
total 25

The output of findmnt is as follows, with my username again replaced with 'username':

To unmount the drive, I can right click on each volume on the desktop, choose unmount, and I receive a pop up notification that the drive has been safely removed.

After unplugging the USB drive, the icon for the unencrypted volume disappears from the desktop, but the icons for the lvm volumes remain. I have attached the long errors that appear in the syslog.

When plugging the drive back in, the unencrypted partition is again mounted, and I am prompted for a password. Nothing further happens. If I double click on the encryted drive icon on the desktop, I am again prompted for a password, and then receive this error:

Failed to mount "80 GB Encrypted"
Error unclocking /dev/sdb5: Command-line `cryptsetup luksOpen "/dev/sdb5" "luks-1d2a9dd8-91a4-4e34-9531-b0cde53579c0" ' exited with non-zero exit status 5: Device luks-1d2a9dd8-91a4-4e34-9531-b0cde53579c0 already exists.

The usb drive is unusable without a reboot, or issuing this command, antler is the volume group name:
$ sudo vgchange -a n antler
  0 logical volume(s) in volume group "antler" now active

Upon issuing this command, the icons for the four lvm volumes disappears from my desktop. If I now plug in the drive, it acts normally.
