Adding the string "USB DISK" to updfstab.conf.default under Flash or Memstick sections solves the problem
Unfortunately, 'USB Disk' isn't really specific enough for what updfstab uses. You may want to try hal and gnome-volume-manager from the current development tree; it has a newer way of handling removable media.
