Yup, I've fixed that here

 http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal.git;a=commitdiff;h=482a82f7f06303467b86f18cc9db793514660a78;hp=607bc736215bd2769d79877dda9327623637fb49

It was a silly bug that was introduced by my "make addons poke hald
before device object is announced" feature.

I've also put this patch on the 0.5.8 branch and it will be part of the
0.5.8.1 release.
