It works!  Turns out some SANE setup manuals on the net are incomplete.

Here's how to set up the 2400:

1. Tell the scanner.o module that yes, the 2400 IS a valid scanner.
   Put the following in your /etc/modules.conf:

    options scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x011b


2. Make your scan node:

    # mknod /dev/usb/scanner0 c 180 48
    # chmod 666 /dev/usb/scanner0


3. Tell the Epson backend to use the USB scanner.
   (this is the step I neglected)
   Ensure this is the ONLY uncommented line in /etc/sane.d/epson.conf:

   usb /dev/usb/scanner0


4. Load the scanner module

    # modprobe scanner


5. Run a scan.  Any SANE-based front-end should work.

    % xsane epson:/dev/usb/scanner0


I haven't figured out how to do 4800 dpi yet, but 2400 works just fine.
