That's the bug... it shoudln't allow usb connection when there is stuff still actively writing the database.

It should either kill that stuff, or wait for it to finish before offering to connect the USB.
Usually it does wait but not always.

That's why rebooting before connecting helps. I'd also recommend turning off wifi *before* rebooting, otherwise it might start a wifi sync after rebooting which will also cause issues.

If you know you just downloaded a bunch of new stuff, it wouldn't hurt to wait a few minutes for things to settle.

And ignore the advise about rolling back firmware. All the firmwares before 4.41 are worse for this problem.
