Did lsusb (or maybe usb-list in d-i env) then start showing the devices?
Alternatively I think they appear under /proc somewhere and I would expect
some stuff in dmesg too.
You could also try load usb-storage and/or sd_mod to see if the disks are
then found.

Might just be to do with how far through d-i you go before dropping to a
shell?

It's not impossible that this is related, since I would expect hw-detect to
responsible in some way for loading some of this stuff (although I would
expect it primarily to happen via udev once the modules were actually
available, which they seem to be).
Perhaps a "udevadm trigger" would be interesting to try?
