It's really not me unplugging and replugging the hardware a few times (I would certainly have had time to do that more than a couple of times). It really is simply the detection code taking that long. And it's actually worse than that when you then look at the kernel messages too: Jan 15 07:24:53 EeePC kernel: [26470.697095] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8 Jan 15 07:24:54 EeePC kernel: [26471.981594] sdc: sdc1 iow, the _kernel_ detected it in a second at 07:24:54, just shy of a full _minute_ before it got "detected" by DeviceKit. (Ok, I admit that I had to cheat to get the kernel to detect it that fast. I changed the default settling timeout from 5 to 1 seconds as per Alan Stern's suggestion. Sadly, in this situation, the five seconds wasn't even noticeable).
