Just a random thought. You might want to take a look at usb-modeswitch.
It's actually designed to handle a different but similar problem. USB
modems often present the pseudo Windows DVD drive only until they are
switched into the operating mode when the drive is hidden and pseudo
serial ports or other endpoints for the modem are presented.
That said it's a tricky bit of sofware, but it might have some clues.
