Did you delete the old gtk/gdk/glib libraries before installing the
new ones? There is an unfortunate bug in the ltconfig file that makes
this necessary on Linux.

Hmmh, I have had one other report of dropped lines in grayscale mode.
Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the problem, so I can't debug it.
Can you look into it? Maybe you could play with different buffer
sizes and see what's happening as the sizes change. The man-pages
describe a couple of environment variables that may be helpful in
tracking this down (e.g., set SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK and
SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SANE to 128). If you can, try it with a different
SCSI controller, too, since it's quite possible the bug is in the
driver for the Mustek card.

No, if you invoke scanimage with SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK set to 3, you'll
probably see the correct scanner type (otherwise, scanimage would
refuse to scan).
