The problem arises from a bug in the underlying controller made by 
MaxTronic. The good news is that they recently released an upgraded 
firmware to fix it. And, more importantly, it is possible to set 
scsi_mod.default_dev_flags=0x40000 (==BLIST_NOREPORTLUN)

I suspect that your guess of the previous command being IDENTIFY is correct.
