While connecting my flash reader to the USB bus I get:

Shouldn't we blacklist devices like /sys/class/scsi_device/*, /sys/class/scsi_host/* ?

Yes we should, as we try to remove those device nodes when the devices
get removed (look for the 'trying to remove host54' messages), which
could be very dangerous.

So, here we go:
Blacklist devices that we don't want to process, like:
/sys/class/scsi_device/*, /sys/class/scsi_host/*,
cause these devices are handled by the block device events we receive
and we don't try to remove non existing nodes.
thanks,
Kay

How about this patch instead (not tested)? It removes the explicit test
for net class devices.

Nice, looks good.
I've tested it:
Jan 4 00:38:40 pim udev[4389]: udev_hotplug: looking at '/class/scsi_device/62:0:0:0'
Jan 4 00:38:40 pim udev[4389]: udev_hotplug: don't care about 'scsi_device' devices
Jan 4 00:38:41 pim udev[4562]: udev_hotplug: looking at '/class/scsi_host/host62'
Jan 4 00:38:41 pim udev[4562]: udev_hotplug: don't care about 'scsi_host' devices

Oh, my testing is good, but reading to the end of the debug is better :)
It should be:
if (strcmp(subsystem, subsystem_blacklist[i]) = 0) {
otherwise we skip everything.
