It is not that case,
The same phisical USB, the same phisical machine,. virtual Ubuntu launched under
virtualbox shows:
Disk /dev/sdb: 15.6 GB, 15610576896 bytes
119 heads, 55 sectors/track, 4658 cylinders, total 30489408 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xc3072e18
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 8064 30489407 15240672 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)

The efect in F18 is repeatable for any usb device inserted to any usb port,so it is
definitely not a problem with the partitiion itself

VMWare is more than capable of claiming exclusive use of USB devices so
that that the 'host' machine would never see a plugged in device.
Knowing that you have VMWare installed and running on the same machine
would be a very likely explanation for this behavior.
