Same exact problem for me too; so very incredibly annoying that I often try to avoid using my external usb hard drive. It often spins down when its not being used and when I try to use it again, I get IO errors, device busy, and so forth. The only way to fix the problem is to umount and mount again, but that is often more easily said than done due to this bug.
