Here's the baseline output of dmesg and /var/run/dmesg.boot:

dmesg.boot never changes.  When I remove the drive, I see this from dmesg:

ata4: DISCONNECT requested
subdisk8: detached
ad8: detached
ata4: DISCONNECTED

And when I plug it back in,

ata4: CONNECT requested
ata4: DISCONNECTED
ata4: CONNECTED
ata4: SATA connect time=0ms
ata4: SIGNATURE: 0000000c
ata4: No signature, asuming disk device
ata4: ahci_reset devices=0x1<ATA_MASTER>
ata4: reiniting channel ..
ata4: SATA connect time=0ms
ata4: SIGNATURE: 0000000c
ata4: No signature, asuming disk device
ata4: ahci_reset devices=0x1<ATA_MASTER>
ata4: reinit done ..
ata4: reiniting channel ..
ata4: SATA connect time=0ms
ata4: SIGNATURE: 0000000c
ata4: No signature, asuming disk device
ata4: ahci_reset devices=0x1<ATA_MASTER>
ata4: reinit done ..


atacontrol list still says "no device present" for that channel.
