If you google a bit you'll discover that the problem is a supposedly 
"smart" change in the way usbcore probes new devices (now done "a la 
Windows, ah, ah, at least on Windows they mount...)

Try with (as root)

echo -n "Y" > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/old_scheme_first
echo -n "Y" > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/use_both_schemes

which should revert to the "old" way. After these changes my pens all 
mount with no problem, including those which ran into the same issue you 
had.
