I characterized this problem more clearly. The culprit is the program gnome-disk-utility. If standby time or APM is set to ON, all partitions of the drive are added to the launcher. If they are removed with "unlock from launcher" they come back with the next reboot. If the standby time and APM are set to OFF, normal launcher behavior returns. This started happening in May 2015. In my case the disk is /dev/sdb which contains various rarely used Linux partitions (old versions of Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse, Mint) and is normally not spinning (APM set for spin-down).
