When running as a foreground process, you didn't quit between the first
connect and the second one, did you?

It looks to me like a hal problem (device correctly appears in the
kernel logs, but not in hal).

I don't think thunar caches anything. It relies on hal events to notice
that a removable device appeared.
What's weird is that thunar influences hal, which seems really very
weird.

I'm a bit stuck here, to be honest.
