Good catch!
Through update of my distro, packages "scanbd" and "scanbuttond" got installed, and this is what caused all the mess.
Now, I have uninstalled them, and everything is working flawlessly.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Interestingly, if I try:
scanimage --device "genesys:libusb:001:003" --format=tiff > test.tiff
Then it reports me: "Failed: device busy".

  It seems that some process is sitting on the scanner in the
background. Try to determine what it is. Maybe the fuser command can do
that.

I found a weird bypass to get the scanner working:
If I keep pushing the physical "Send" button on the scanner and then
start a scan program on the computer

  Then, it can be a button daemon. Search for scanbuttond or scanbd in
the list of running processes.
