I don't think that there is a real bug page, but I've once reported it 
to the parport mailing list:

I don't think so. It is pretty old and hairy code (dealing with all 
kinds of different hardware) and the original author isn't actively 
working on it any more.

Then there may be something else going wrong.
The debug output may reveal something.
Have you tried this already?

   export SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=128
   export SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_PA4S2=128
   scanimage -L
