This also happens on RELENG_6.  There was a *very* long discussion about
this behaviour and how to solve it.  It's not specific to USB devices
either.  The bottom line is that solving this issue is not easy, and
that administrators should remember to unmount before pulling a device.

That thread (again, reminder: it's very long):
