Do you explicitly unmount your flash drives, before yanking them

I have to admit that is the one thing I don't do.
Well, there's your problem, then... (quite probably, highly likely).
And, regarding an older message, being "new" is no guarantee of being
good.
Afaik if you unmount it in Nautilus (Gnome Desktop) in the left column by
clicking on the kinda downwards pointing arrow tip next to its name then it
flushes data before unmounting. You can also use the 'sync' command on the
cli (do it multiple times in a row just to make sure).
I'm a bit paranoid about this now as I have previously had damaged
flash drives and those with LEDs have occasionally continued
indicating data transfer after the gui has reported it's safe to
unmount.
i use KDE 4.3.3 and Disk Utility 2.30.1 for mount/unmount of usb memory.
Disk Utility has a "Mount Volume/Unmount Volume" and a "Safe Removal"
selection, described as "Power down the drive so it can be removed".
works very well as 3 sub memory stick are working with out problems for
now well over a year.
maybe op can install it and use it under gnome and end his worries.
