at the time, gnome(-volume-manager) was trying to mount the stick. > If it's mounting via HAL, I guess it's simply a matter of the device being > locked by DeviceKit-disks.

Consquently, each time gnome-volume-manager tried to mount to stick, only to find that it has already gone away. This "insert-remove-loop" I only experience with devicekit(-disks) installed. I hope this helps to clarify the issue. I do not believe that it is a problem in the tools that try to mount the stick, but that something between the devicekit and the kernel goes wrong. But I might be wrong of course. If I can help by testing anything in more detail, please let me now.
