On Feisty this has improved. I can no longer make the printer disappear permanently. However doing repeated runs of the cups usb backend produces differing results:

Running the above in two separate terminals will sometimes make the printer briefly disappear from one of them. However stopping the polling in the non failing terminal will then make the printer reappear in the failing terminal.
