A little experimenting showed you're right.

I was thinking about udev, too, but I don't think there's any way to have
something auto-unmount. But I'm overcomplicating things. In my system, the
only accesses made to this external flash drive are in response to a user
command. So the simpler solution is just to have my application mount and
unmount the drive, instead of trying to get the operating system to do it.
