Interesting :-)
But the linaro-media-create "size" output is probably broken for the
same reason: sdb appears to be unavailable for some time after changing
the partition table:

That's pretty convincing to me; anything relevant in dmesg?
We could do something like the attached shell script; would you mind
running it to confirm this works without removing/reinserting the MMC?
I'm curious to see how much time your drive needs to come back.
