Looking into it further, it may relate to how Daniel advises you to
effectively destroy the device partition table by making the
filesystem on /dev/sdb rather than the usual methods.  The result may
depend on what is already on the USB drive, and so is less
predictable than partitioning.

sudo mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/sdb

And yeah, I think I remember fixing access to filesystems that were
not in a partition table.  None of the OLPC install processes needed
that though, so it wasn't fixed until recently.
