At the end of the bug report Klaas Freitag says it's a bug in libkscan
and I also suggested that earlier in this thread based on the log
output provided by Adrian.

  [epkowa] sane_get_devices()
  libkscan: WARNING: Trying to copy a not healthy option (no name nor desc)
  libkscan: WARNING: Trying to copy a not healthy option (no name nor desc)
  ScimInputContextPlugin()
  [epkowa] sane_exit
  ~ScimInputContextPlugin()

Maybe that this points in the right direction.
