Dirk, As discussed above, mtpfs will never work with an Android 4.x device due to how it uses libmtp. No updates to libmtp will ever change that.
As for your mtp-detect error, that's likely due to another application already talking MTP to the device (eg: if you'd attempted to mount with mtpfs, or if gvfs ptp was trying to communicate with it - which will happen automatically if you have a default Unity desktop, or if gvfs mtp is communicating with it, if you're using my version of gvfs). The MTP protocol only supports one application communicating with the device at a time, so if another one tries to do connection initialization, the device gets confused and can respond in fairly unpredictable ways.
