It is reported as:

[mustek] attach: found Mustek scanner model MFC-06000CZ (flatbedscanner), 1-pass

This happens with access granted to /dev/port. A setuid root
xscanimage turns off the light correctly.

Perhaps mustek.c should try to abort the scanner after a timeout?
Some more to follow:
9)
If the xscanimage preview window is closed xscanimage is terminated.
10)
The selection box in the preview window ist not updated automaticly.
After acquiring a new preview or moving the sliders there is no
reaction until I force a window redraw by moving another window onto
the preview window.
11)
The geometry sliders in xscanimage can be moved to "illogical"
positions. For example, the upper left corner is 5/5, the lower right
one is 1/1. If I try to scan with these positions my scanner will leave
the maximum scan region ("ratatatata").
12)
Using the gimp with xscanimage plug-in, on gimp startup xscanimage
tries to talk to the scanner. The scanner does its self-test for about
20 seconds every time. This isn't nice, if you only want to draw a
picture and don't use the scanner this time. Perhaps the shortcuts in
the xtens menu in gimp could be created *after* the first use of
xscanimage?
