I have a few flash drives in my possession. All of them will mount fine, except one which refuses to mount. Instead, this refuses not to mount. I shall attempt to attach my dmesg log for you all to look at.
Created attachment 193783 [details] This is my dmesg log file
1. This looks more like a support question than a bug. 2. Could you limit that log to just the lines printed when you unplug the drive and plug it back again (and from something more complete than dmesg) ?

I have done so, using grep this time. 3. What do you recommend? See attached file.

I'm not saying it's not a bug, just that it may be a problem with the drive model or alike, so this problem may be better suited for the forum, where somebody perhaps will recall about a similar problem. You said yourself, that other drives work, so if that's not a problem with the filesystem, it may be like Linux not liking the way this model works or it's just a hardware failure.
Assuming these messages follow each other quite rapidly, it would seem the device isn't getting enough power once it's initialising: usb 1-8: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9 scsi7 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb 1-8: USB disconnect, address 9 I don't see how this is a Gentoo problem unless you can point out how it's no problem when you run the same hardware with different software.
