I can confirm that it happened to me too, when I was pulling out my usb
hub, with 3 usb memory-key (usbdisks) attached, only one of device was
unmounted, the others were left mounted even if they don't exist any more.
Tested on FC3 with both hal 0.4.6 and 0.4.7. Kernel is 2.6.10-1.741_FC3.

I don't know if it is a problem with HAL, could be with GVM.
