No, the problem in this case was that the epson backend thought that
those scanners were supported by it. So the backend sent some commands
to the scanner which the scanner didn't understand. --> timeout.

That's fixed in CVS now.

I haven't heard about any problem with scanner driver/ libusb
interferences.

However, there are problems with devices opened by libusb which are
opened by other processed at the saame time. While the open fails,
there still seems to be sent USB messages to the scanner and at least
sometimes the scan process stops or images are corrupted.
