As a last resort, I tried it as an ordinary user instead of
root. Wouldn't you know that this works ?
So, using the scanner as root blocks on listing devices, but as an
ordinary user (member of group scanner) this works.
Alright,
everybody thanks for the help.

Great. Just to complement, I tried here with root and received a very scary message:
You try to run XSane as ROOT, that really is DANGEROUS!
Do not send any bug reports when you
have any problem while running XSane as root:
YOU ARE ALONE!
<Cancel> <Continue at your own risk>
So I continued at my own risk and XSane worked (at least the preview).
So, over here, even as root, it works.
