There have been some memory stick support enhancements and fixes in recent kernels, so you might want to retest on Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail", which is based on the 3.8 kernel. Also just committed to the upstream 3.11 kernel is the following commit which will probably be included in 3.11-rc2:

As any code that works with user data this driver isn't recommended to use to write cards that contain valuable data. It tries its best though to avoid data corruption and possible damage to the card. Tested on MS DUO 64 MB card on Ricoh R592 card reader.
