Could it be that someone changed the "unmount" in Gnome to actually be an "umount -l"? I have read somewhere that this is the "recommended way of unmounting hot-pluggable storage" but I really can't follow the rational as I believe this will not sync data. I understand that there's an issue with Nautilus (?) accessing the storage and disallowing unmounts, but I believe the fix is rather to re-start Nautilus than to unplug the device without a proper umount...
