Closing. Adrian as the original reporter said it's fixed for him in final 14.04, and I didn't get an answer from akete in 2 months. Please reopen if you are still experiencing this. Thanks!

Some things I have noticed: 1. While the device /dev/sdb1 (for the only partition on the drive) is created, it is given permissions 600 and belongs to group root, whereas for other drives the device is given permissions 660 and belongs to group disk. 2. The usual symlinks to the device are not created in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ or /dev/disk/by-label/. 3. This problem appeared with the out-of-the-box partition table; I have blanked the first 100MB of the disk with dd, recreated the partition table and reformatted, but it still happens. 4. 'udevadm info /dev/sdb1' gives very perfunctory output for this drive, compared to the copious output for other drives. 5. 'udisksctl info -b /dev/sdb1' responds 'Error looking up object for device /dev/sdb1'.
