I think you should be able to use this card reader without pcscd, using the internal CCID driver of GnuPG[1]. Just stop and disable pcscd, hopefully GnuPG will find the reader and use it right away. That might solve your problem. I use GnuPG's internal CCID driver, and it is completely resilient against both pulling the card as well as unplugging the reader.
