It's fixed in raring. You can test it by using the backported gvfs and libmtp
packages in http://launchpad.net/~langdalepl/+archive/gvfs-mtp. No changes in
Banshee are needed.

The issue with Banshee is that it requires raw libmtp access to the phone, but
the gphoto backend automatically grabs hold of it and doesn't let it go even
when told to unmount. The new mtp backend in gvfs fixes that. Additionally, a
bug in libmtp resulted in libmtp not being able to reopen a device that was
released without physically unplugging and plugging it back in. The new libmtp
fixes that.

You'll also find that after upgrading, you will be able to access your phone
storage via nautilus.
