/etc/udev/rules.d/025_libghoto2.rules has this line:
PROGRAM="check_ptp_camera 06/01/01", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"
which will be called for every USB devices plugged in.
This script will return 0 if the device has a camera PTP interface and
udev would then give the appropriate group.
It is part of upstream 2.3.1 release and has been tested by Marcus
Meissner for SuSE and Martin Pitt for Ubuntu.

I believe things such as crypto USB devices would be affected by the
bug.

I'll have that fixed.
