I don't have a clue where lies problem, but I have a working solution
(checked on 2 intrepid boxes that both had broken USB automount):

1. install usbmount  (sudo apt-get install usbmount)
2. edit /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf   (sudo gedit /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf)
3. change line FILESYSTEMS="ext2 ext3" to FILESYSTEMS="vfat ext2 ext3"

observe warning:
###############################################
# WARNING!  The vfat filesystem does not yet fully implement sync-mounting. #
# If you include "vfat" in the list of filesystem types, you *MUST* make    #
# sure all data is written to the medium before you remove it (e.g. run the #
# "sync" command in a terminal window).  Otherwise, you *WILL* lose data!   #
##############################################

(as most small USB devices has vfat filesystem, that is appropriate
solution, for other try adding ntfs etc)
