Yes, according to the upstreams.

No bug on upstreams' boxes and I can't reproduce it too. So I was try to
guess if something in the background can grab the device ...

Look on the second comment in the bug report that point a fam
problem. Could you try the lsof to see what's holding the device ?

I'm trying to reproduce it to fix it yes, but neither upstreams or me
can reproduce it, so it's not easy ...
