Confirmed that usefree fixes this. I manually mounted one of my USB drives with usefree, and df didn't hang.
However, when I popped open gconf-editor, and updated /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options to have the additional option "usefree", I get an error window saying "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume ..."
So I guess g-v-m needs to be updated to know that this is a valid option?
