Ok, I think vol_id triggers the real bug (which may be the upstream kernel bug). The patched udev rules just make sure vol_id is not run (because this device is "disk" and not "partition"). With the original udev rules, the udev process hangs at this vol_id call and will not finish and hence the device never appear.
