Yu: I'm not sure so this is pure guessing, but bug #1059872 mentions another package, util-linux, in a related problem that has a fix in utopic but not yet in trusty. Of course, the whole new util-linux can't be SRU:d to trusty, but I wonder if that single fix "wipefs properly cleans up fs signatures" could be found, and would it help with this?

Or maybe there's something else in https://code.launchpad.net/~usb-creator-hackers/usb-creator/trunk needed that hasn't been backported to trusty, since there are quite many commits.
