is this about LXDE? - and is this about the LiveISO, or about the
installed system?

Yes. I only know about installed system, did not try on Live ISO.

I find my self wondering is this is a bug at all.
Yanking external media without informing the system (unmounting) is very bad practice
Depending on how the device was mounted there may even be stale mounts in /etc/mtab
This seems more like a case for user education then a bug.
Light DEs like XFCE often just have a very basic mount/unmount mechanisms.

see if it helps to install 'udiskie'
also check that the feature is enabled - open the pcmanfm file manager and use the menu to find:
edit -> preferences -> volume management
then make sure the 'mount removable media automatically' is checked
