Maybe it's worth saying that it worked before upgrading F16 to F17.

Ok, seems that it's not a bug in ModemManager. Just tried a fresh install on a external hdd and the stick works fine. Even after updating. Don't understand the difference compared to my main system...

Just reinstalled Fedora. Works fine now.
