There doesn't appear to be a way to be notified of unmount attempts at the moment. There is an fschange modification about ten years ago (http://stefan.buettcher.org/cs/fschange/), but that never made it into the kernel.
It looks like it's impossible for mediascanner to automatically back off when an unmount attempt is made. You can kill the mediascanner process and then unmount.
