No, you missunderstand how this work. Not HAL is the problem. The problem is submount and subfs. In fact the problem is the submountd. If the device is not in use and nobody is accessing the volume submountd try to umount the volume and remount the volume if someone access the volume. This is the reason why you sometime get no information from df. In this case the volume is only mounted with subfs and not with the real filesystem. The real filesystem is only mounted if you access the device. With this you can remove the usbstick after some seconds (IMO 2-3 sec) if you stop accessing the stick. I hope this explain your problem.
