Basically, they all behave the same: allow to choose scanner from the list,

OK, that’s the bare minimum, but wouldn’t it be more elegant to give the user
some feedback that the problem is solved, e.g. by auto-closing the error
message box, or by changing the status line?
I don't think it's really needed. Installing paper into ADF is a
physical action. I don't think user needs a confirmation from computer
that paper was actually installed; user knows it by feeling from its
fingers.
BTW, some users missing push-mode scan, totally missed from SANE. But it
requires the whole image logistics to be rethought: user presses some
buttons at scanner, scanner connects the computer, some daemon accepts
this connection, then somehow GUI popup should occur with a question,
how to handle received image.
It doesn't fit well the UNIX multiuser model. At what desktop this popup
should be open? (unlike UNIX, on Windows current terminal session has a
very special role in respect to other system).
