I haven't been following this thread carefully, and I may be
misunderstanding how this works, but how about the case of a card
reader with multiple slots? What if I want to unmount the SD card so I
can use a different SD card, but I still want to use the CF card I have
inserted in another slot?

If "eject" unmounts all the cards on the device, then you can't do this?
