I too am suffering from this bug. When I try to eject my USB-to-IDE HDD, it disappears from the desktop for a moment, and then comes back with an "unable to eject" error message.
Furthermore, if I run "sudo eject -s /dev/sdb" from commandline, here's what I get:
rq@sugar:~ $ sudo eject -s /dev/sdb
dm_task_set_name: Device /dev/mapper/sda2 not found
dm_task_set_name: Device /dev/mapper/sda5 not found

I don't get it - not only both /dev/mapper/sda2 and /dev/mapper/sda5 exist, they're on a totally different physical disk! Why is `eject` trying to find them at all?

Could it be the case that this is happenning only to partitioned USB media?
