Just for the record: thank you very much for that information, Romain! And thanks to brother for providing an official solution/workaround. But reading that FAQ answer, it is even more obvious that this is in no way related to how simple-scan does things as this is a case where the base that simple-scan is build upon is failing, and whoever is maintaining that (the scanner driver) is required to sort things out (brother and/or libsane maintainers).
I will leave this report open for the moment, but it will be closed eventually (for simple-scan) because there is nothing in/with simple- scan that will change. The progress should be tracked whereever the actual progress is to be made.
