Yes, that's right, at least until SANE-1.0.6.

exactly. Please try to specify the device: scanimage -d
microtek2:/dev/sg0 >out.pnm should theoretically scan to the file
out.pnm.

I can make more detailed investigations if you send me a logfile (see
manpage sane-microtek2 for instructions how to do that).
