Thanks!

For the archives, I also discovered that the issue can be worked around by 
physically timing the insertion of the stick. If you insert it just enough 
that it gets powered up (presumably initializing) but not enough for it to 
attach to the USB bus, wait a few seconds, and insert it all the way - it 
will get properly detected.

Similarly if connected on boot there is no problem.
