I suspect the following:
- eject uses privately constructed SCSI commands to eject your disk
so you are doing this entirely behind the back of everybody,
the kernel does not know what you did.
- refusing to eject /dev/sdb4 is something eject.c does for you;
you might fix eject.c to also refuse /dev/sdb; send the patch
to the maintainer.
