Thank you! The problem was a faulty installation -- some symlinks in /usr/lib/sane were missing, and the backend loader couldn't find libsane-epson.so.1 because it didn't exist. Symlinking it to libsane-epson.so.1.0.7 solved the problem. So did reinstalling the package -- I don't know why the symlinks were broken the first time.
