I found this problem in gnome on FC4 and submitted a bug report. Syncing
can still occur after the timeout for the icon. I found this after
copying a large amount of files to a thumbdrive and corrupting the
filesystem. I also found out about fsck.vfat for repairing the file
system.

It may be the same bug.
Perhaps this bug-report within gnome's bugzilla comes close to what you
have in mind to prevent data loss:

Seems like a patch is on its way out.
