Sorry, I've got no solution either. Since this is kind of a low-priority
bug for me, I'm fine with manually unmounting (using umount or some GUI)
my external drive before removing it. My current plan is to wait for 3.0
and then maybe do a git bisect if it's not fixed by then. However, you
should check out the Debian bug report[1], the Ubuntu bug report[2] and
the upstream bug report[3], maybe you'll find something there.

Best regards
