Does it work if you use a different backend? Try e.g. "xsane test". As
it works with mustke, it should also work with test but you never know.

Looks like that doesn't happen in the canon backend.

It's just a list of the functions which have been called.

Did changing the locale have any effect at all (English/German texts
in xsane)? If not, try LC_ALL=C.

Strange. Looks like it happened directly after loading the backend
translation file.

In addition to SANE_DEBUG_CANON=255 and SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255 you can
also set XSANE_DEBUG. Maybe that shows the exact position of the
problem.
