I confirm this bug on Intepid Ibex 8.10.
Tried kernels 2.6.27-7 and 2.6.24-19.
Works only when enabling USB 1.1.
Works with transcend tsonic630 2Gb, but doesn't with kingston data traveler 8Gb.
Flash drive was formatted under WinXP and works fine under Win. 

    lsusb:
Bus 006 Device 010: ID 0951:1607 Kingston Technology Data Traveler 2.0  <- non-working kingston
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0402:5661 ALi Corp.                                                <- working transcend

This doesn't look like a partition table
