Well, I just solved the problem - kind of. Looks like the "improvement" introduced by systemd folks in the form of a binary hardware dababase is the root of all evil. As it was to be expected, the database contains wrong information (haven't they learned a single bit from M$?). I had to "persuade" udev, that the camera is a "disk" and not something "generic", and udisk/usdisk2 that it's "removable". And it's important that these fixes are in the last ruleset, otherwise it does not work:

# /etc/udev/rules/99-casio.rules
ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="CASIO_COMPUTER_CASIO_QV_DIGITAL",ENV{ID_TYPE}="disk",ENV{UDISKS_AUTO}="1",ENV{UDISKS_SYSTEM}="0",ENV{UDISKS_SYSTEM_INTERNAL}="0"
