This bug affects me.

I invoked usb-creator-gtk without knowing that was its name: I used "Startup Disk Creator" from the "Dash Home" thing on my Unity desktop (Oneiric + updates). It would be wise to keep names consistent.

The thing failed after 10 minutes of copying files to the thumb drive. This makes retries quite tedious.

I also hit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/884008

I don't see any log.

Nowhere is there an explanation of how or why to give Startup Disk Creator the --allow-system-internal. Certainly not in the broken help button.

Even usb-creator-gtk(8) doesn't explain the flag well. What is a "system internal device"???

This is very unfriendly. I wonder how many users can even find there way here?

I will attach a couple of screen shots showing windows left after this failure.
