I would most certainly call this a bug. I can pull out SD/SDHC cards on my EeePC and it doesn't panic (4.99.73).Pulling out a SD/SDHC card will not detach the device, it just makes the drive "offline". Works fine with my external USB card reader too, but not if I pull the card reader itself.
Fair enough, but I still don't think panicing is the right thing to do.
