No, 55wicd still hangs.

I shouldn't worry too much about it.  Only people writing their own
udev rules are going to run into this problem - it so happens that I
have a rule which causes the wireless interface to come up whenever a
USB wireless stick is inserted.  It so happens that this rule is also
invoked when rt73usb is reloaded on resumption if the stick is already
there (something which is actually of itself quite useful, so no
complaints about udev).

If a solution is needed, I think it is at the wicd level so that
calling /usr/lib/wicd/autoconnect.py twice doesn't hang.  It is really
a wicd interface bug - a duplicate call should return gracefully.
