you are correct, it is SLE customer support.
i tend to agree with you about sled, and perhaps the kubuntu 12.04lts
i have on my laptop, but i need the stability those releases provide.
so compared to the opensuse i run at home, i guess they are
positively ancient.
i have a case open with sle support. they want the details on how i
came up with the debug info i sent them. they made it sound like if
this was a known issue, then addressing it with a community package
release might not be out of the question.
it will be monday before i can get the rest of the info requested by
support. at that time, i'll pass on what you have suggested. i'll
let you know what they (sle support) says. it might be interesting.
thanks for the assistance.

It depends on who they is ;-)
If they is the official SUSE Enterprise Customer Support,
then they do not have a newer sane-backends RPM package.
If they is openSUSE, then I provide in my openSUSE home project
sane-backends-1.0.22 RPM packages built for SLE_11_SP3
(i.e. SLES 11 SP3 and SLED 11 SP3) for 32-bit i586
and 64-bit x86_64 architecture.
Why no current sane-backends-1.0.24 for SLE11?
Because it does no longer build (with reasonable effort for me)
in the positively ancient SLE11 environment.
For direct RPM download go to
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/SLE_11_SP3/
Before you install such RPM packages, carefully read
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Ajsmeix

This is my personal playground where
packages could be severely incompatible
with official openSUSE packages.
Do not somehow add the whole home:jsmeix
repository to be used by your package
installer (e.g. via YaST).
Using the whole home:jsmeix repository
could be a perfect way to mess up your
system.
Instead only download the packages
of your particular interest which match
your excat system from the appropriate
sub-directory in
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/
and install them manually
(e.g. using plain rpm).
If you are unexperienced with manual
installation, do not install any package
from home:jsmeix.
Packages in the home:jsmeix project might
neither be in usable state nor fit into
currently installed systems.
Have this in mind if you think about to
install packages from home:jsmeix into
your currently running system.
Do not use Factory if your system is
not Factory.
Use the matching packages for your
particular system.
The packages in the home:jsmeix project
are only for testing, without any guarantee
or warranty, and without any support.
As an extreme example, this means if your
complete computer center crashes because
of those packages, it is only your problem.
On the other hand this does not mean that
all those packages are known to be terrible
broken (but some of those packages could
be really broken) and none of those packages
are thoroughly tested so that any unexpected
issue can happen.

Personally - without any guarantee or warranty - I assume
sane-backends-1.0.22 from the home:jsmeix project should
just work for SLE 11 SP3 - but I have not verified it.
When you have a support contract with our official SUSE Enterprise
Customer Support, then check with them whether or not installing
sane-backends-1.0.22 from the home:jsmeix project might
somehow invalidate your support contract.
