I used to think esata is hotplug, but this thread made me wonder:

Well, it confirms the cable hotplug, i.e., you can connect and
disconnect devices and the kernel will realize that something has
changed.
Mounting/unmounting is a diferent thing. That doesn't work for USB
either (i.e., you do have to umount before you remove it).

I don't use any esata, but is it possible that the
plugging/unplugging is not considered a "hot" event, whereas
plugging/unplugging a drive is?

It looks like. But this definitely has changed, as it did generate an
event in 11.4 where things worked flawlessly.

You're off to bugzilla then.
