The problem can be fixed by manually disabling USB autosuspend for the
scanner by doing

echo -1 >/sys/bus/usb/devices/USB_ADDRESS_OF_SCANNER/power/autosuspend

as root.

I guess an udev rule has to be added for that.

However, the scanner would then power on while plugged all the time. So
I guess it would be better if the sane backend would keep the device
open until the scanner slit is retracted to it's home position, and then
close it, allowing autosuspend power off the device.

On the proprietary windows driver, the scanner is kept alive for some
minutes until it is shut down. This is meant to keep the lamp warm which
needs to be preheated after power off I guess.
