My Oasis 2, befor I started leaving it permanently USBnetworking enabled, showed up as /dev/sde
that is, an unpartitioned disk. I've had non-kindle readers do that, even for sd cards that are partitioned.
Mounting without a partition number has always worked for me in those cases.
What does dmesg say after an connection?

Oh! I never considered that possibility. dmesg says simply

Aaand a blkid is quite clear:
/dev/sdn: LABEL_FATBOOT="Kindle" LABEL="Kindle" UUID="386D-519E" TYPE="vfat"
... and do I ever feel like an idiot now. It mounts perfectly well as long as you just mount the raw partition.
Thank you! You've saved me who knows how much time debugging the usb layer hunting for a bug that wasn't there...
