Have you tried disabling the epson2 backend?  Towards the end of the
bug report there is mention that the epson and epson2 backends might
be getting into one another's way.

You can disable backends in the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf file (or, IIRC,
on your system /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf).  You could also try
with the epson backend disabled.

Hope this helps,
