I can.

Camera working fine; tail -f /var/log/syslog
...
press F9

May 10 18:48:24 faith kernel: [120905.804404] usb 1-1.1: USB disconnect, device 
number 3
May 10 18:48:25 faith colord: device removed:

so the kernel notices that the camera drops off the USB bus. Nothing
else is printed.

xev did, at this point, detect the keypress as well:

I then press F9 again. (Note: it's not really F9. It is the camera key. If I 
press Fn + CameraKey, I get F9.) Syslog shows:

No idea what the uvcvideo errors are all about. Confirmed that the
camera works again at this point, anyway, by starting Cheese.
