Looks like a very old bug actually. I have such a device (045e:00ca),
and resetting libfprint to before that commit fixes it:

commit d003f08855ba34be88775e4281e7f686b00f6d2f

    lib: Add support for DigitalPersona URU4500
    
    By adding native encryption support, rather than poking at
    the firmware to disable it.
    
    This also makes the URU4000B use native encryption.

Timo, any ideas?

Vinicius, could you please file a bug so we don't forget?
