OK, down here I paste the whole output of dmesg after the above cp

What else should I paste and/or test?
I am under the impression that the problem has something to do with the stick
not writing the data physically to the flash until some time after the
filesystem have done so. I was quite sure that after I do an umount and that
command finishes, all data is physically written to the device.
FAT might work correctly because its a primitive filesystem and doesn't have
any journals to write or anything and might be albo to write everything in
time, while ext3 journaling does need extra data.
How does the stick notify the computer that everything is physically written?
Is there something that can make sure that 'umount' doesn't finish before it's
safe to remove the USB stick?
I suspect that using ext2 or using 'sync' option, or both might avoid the
failures, even now with ext3 I can avoid the failures if I do everything very
slowly, and wait plenty of time after each command.
