Folow up: I tried a different USB flash drive and it worked fine. The flash drive that failed to extroot was a Patriot Tab 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive: http://www.patriotmemory.com/product/detail.jsp?prodline=7&catid=99&prodgroupid=252&id=1372&type=23
Strangely this flash drive is working on other TP-Link TL-WDR4300 devices I have running older A.A. OpenWrt releases. I did not test older OpenWrt releases on this exact hardware with this USB flash drive. The USB flash drive that did work was a USB 2 drive.
