It's fixed in raring. You can test it by using the backported gvfs and libmtp
packages in http://launchpad.net/~langdalepl/+archive/gvfs-mtp. No changes in
Banshee are needed.

The issue with Banshee is that it requires raw libmtp access to the phone, but
the gphoto backend automatically grabs hold of it and doesn't let it go even
when told to unmount. The new mtp backend in gvfs fixes that. Additionally, a
bug in libmtp resulted in libmtp not being able to reopen a device that was
released without physically unplugging and plugging it back in. The new libmtp
fixes that.

You'll also find that after upgrading, you will be able to access your phone
storage via nautilus.

Title:
  Galaxy Nexus (MTP, phone) and Xoom (MTP, tablet) don't show up in
  Banshee

Bug description:
  I have a new phone, but it doesn't show up in Banshee. I've even
  recompiled libmtp to add the device ID, but that didn't help.

  As the same thing happens with my Xoom tablet (also an Android
  device), which is included in the "unpatched" libmtp, I think this is
  a Banshee bug.

  The MTP plugin is enabled.
