Thats exactly right - USB sleep is a very delicate and broken procedure.
Basically, the controller seems to be giving up and re-enumerating
everything.

The userland technically *shouldn't* have to unmount the filesystems, but
its the safest option we have - between enumeration issues, and the age
old problem of unplugging the external device while in sleep - its just
better to unmount the device before heading for nap time (or mount the
thing with '-a' so data isn't lost).
Is that ideal? Of course not - but welcome to the wonderful world of
USB in Linux.
