I believe that a card reader is not a storage device per se and, hence, does not mount until you connect it with a card plugged into it or plug a card into it. I've never used mine any other way, and it always works just fine.
I have plugged it in with a card already in the reader. As previously stated, I can then mount it manually and read the contents of the card.
If I remove and re-insert the card into the reader, nothing appears to happen. At least, no entries are created in /var/log/messages.
