Always run with usb-storage debugging turned on :-)

Seriously, a single mount operation does not put a very large load on the
system.  I would be surprised to find that the timing changes from the
debugging code made a significant difference when mounting.  Doing lots of
I/O would be a different matter.

Have you tried mounting it read-only?  Also, can you tell where the mount 
process is hung?  Try Alt-SysRq-T (and make sure you have enabled the 
Magic SysRq key in your kernel).

Nothing else occurs to me, sorry.
