Same issue here with a Dell wireless scanner. I don't think the hardware matters, as the images are scanned fine by Simple Scan, and I can save the scanned pages individually as PNG files.
But saving them in a PDF results in a file that has parts of the scanned pages overlaying each other with some transparency. These PDF files are not usable. (This used to work fine just a few weeks ago, so some update must have messed something up.)
