In the meantime you can create a .fdi file to override the
storage.removable attribute.  Something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
    <device>
        <match key="storage.serial" string="0090a990e011379d:1:0">
            <merge key="storage.removable" type="bool">true</merge>
        </match>
    </device>
</deviceinfo>

On my system, that goes in /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/90local/.
Create 90local (directory) if it doesn't exist.  I don't recall if you
need to restart hal, but you definitely need to unplug and replug the
device.
