I read your progress to date.
I run Fedora, so please excuse what might be irrelevant questions.
What version of the sane-backends do you have installed?

I recently had quite a lot of trouble with my Epson 3490.
The sane-backends-1.0.24 (the current version from Fedora 20, and 21) were  
installed.
My problem disappeared by getting the current git source and building my  
own sane-backends.
I can only assume that in my case the current source included some changes  
that fixed my problem.
Your problem is probably different, but if no one comes up with a  
solution, you might consider trying what I did.

Cheers,
