I know it is expected if you remove a mounted umass device so wanted to see if its known behavior for serial before I file a pr.

-stable version as of the 25th march, (may have existed before but the first time I forgot to close tip before removing the device was on this version.)

I would expect that the problem is identical in the sense that with a
connection established, you have an open file descriptor which is
associated with a serial device that uses USB.

So, yes, I would expect this behaviour based on the track record.
Should it happen? The answer is no. File a PR?

Also, I'd like to know what USB serial adapter you're using (brand,
model, and a website of it if possible), for unrelated reasons. Thanks!

About what I was expecting but just thought I'd check. Will file a PR tomorrow when my wife isnt browsing facebook on that laptop :)

Regarding the USB serial adapter, I was supplied it though work a while back. I believe from my rather fuzzy memory we got it though these guys

Although I wouldn't swear to it. I'll have an ask if anyone remembers on monday.
