It works for me with the latest dev kernel 2.6.8-1.526. Only problem is that
you have to have the drive plugged on boot though. Then do a mount /dev/sdb1
/media/usbdisk.

Hot plugging, absolutely not. In fact kernel messages shows a number of
failed timeouts. :(

You're very probably wrong. This has been working since FC1 at least,
given that 2.6.8-1.526 contains the usb-storage module I guess that this
kernel still will support my USB flash disk. I want to verify this
shortly as the machine running FC3 devel isn't where I am now.

NB: This mail is signed with a key that resides on my USB flash disk, I
use FC2. Go figure ;-).
