That is a Linux kernel deficiency. Linux kernel does not advertise that
a
"e-sata" disk is removable, so unless the user overrides that information
somewhere (udisks for instance) there is no way Solid can know that the disk
is removable.
Hal used to suffer from this problem too, but in a recent release they
solved this problem using some heuristics/hacks to know if the disk is
connected to an e-sata port. Unfortunately nobody has commited such heuristics
for udisks. It is ironic that the old and obsolete hal recently fixed this
problem but udisks has not :-/
There are some patches for udisks that you can try:
