This is not a bug, please close this ticket. When the multipath-tools package is installed, the device-mapper takes exclusive control of new disks - provided they are not blacklisted in multipath.conf. It does this so that it can create a "multipath" device node. This is so that when a disk is discovered with the same wwid it can be added under the "multipath" device node.
For example, if the iscsi initiator logs in to a target and /dev/sdg is created, this will be taken by device-mapper which will then create a node under /dev/mapper/ corresponding to /dev/sdg. If the iscsi initiator logs into another target and /dev/sdh is created, and this has the same wwid as /dev/sdg, then device-mapper recognises that they are alternate paths to the same LUN and attaches /dev/sdh to the same node under /dev/mapper. So the solution is just to try and mount the node under /dev/mapper instead of the /dev/sd* node, if multipath-tools are installed. Sorry for the confusion - I didn't realise when I raised this bug that I had multipath-tools installed. Or even what multipath-tools was for!
