Mechanical part stops moving after each operation

Bug Description
The scanner only does the first operation after I plug it in. E.g. preview a page, or scan it. On the second operation, the mechanical part does not move anymore (there is no noise whatsoever from the scanner), and the scan output is pitch black.
The workaround I have found is to run scanimage -L between each operation. I.e.:
- Start Xsane
- Preview
- run scanimage -L
- Scan
- run scanimage -L
- Preview
- run scanimage -L
- Scan
...
I am using SANE git from Rolf's PPA, since I was before affected by bug https:/

Edit: the workaround above only seems to work sometimes. Most of the time the scanner will remain dead.
