FYI, my Snapscan 1212U_2 works fine with:
- kernel 2.6.3
- backend version 1.0.13
- libusb-0.1.8 (0.1.7 worked as well)

output from
$ scanimage -L:
'device `snapscan:libusb:001:003' is a AGFA SNAPSCAN 1212U_2 flatbed 
scanner'

As I have stated earlier, my only problem is that hotplug won't execute 
the /etc/hotplug/usb/scanner script at system startup, but that's surely 
a hotplug issue.
