Marking this as confirmed since it is still a bug, and a well documented one given the contributions between 05-12 and 06-15.
Update: Plugged in camera today. Error -60 (as above), error -1 (as above), errors in dmesg. Found this bug report (how could I have forgotten it! :->), killed gvfs-gphoto2-etc., remounted camera, no errors, able to import photos but had to start f-spot manually.
Difference between then and now? Recent system updates must have restored sufficient sanity to unbork the system, though it still does not work as expected.
