Well, I wasn't able to make progress with that. But I noticed something interesting... My drive is mounted from /dev/disk/by-id. Every time this event happens, the device, /dev/sd?3, changes - first, it's at /dev/sdb3, then after remount it's at /dev/sdc3, and then, the next time it happens, it goes back to /dev/sdb3 again.
