A few more that may be of interest:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/706436
[Safely remove drive is not safe for SD card readers]
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/660010
[No 'safely remove' option is present in the unity menu when a usb disk
is inserted]
The last is 'Unity' related, but does give some interesting info
regarding 'Safely Remove Drive' and 'Eject'. Also see:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597864
whiche seems to be related to the loss of the device until reboot.
And that last points to:

Some laptops like the Dell Mini 10 have builtin SD card readers which
are wired
through an internal USB bus. The current behaviour is that if you click
the eject button in nautilus, the card reader device gets ejected and
disconnected, and cannot be reactivated ever, except by a reboot.
