Oh, I see so you got this message if and only if you use
flasher-3.0 --enable-usb-host-mode
flasher-3.0 --disable-usb-host-mode
but all other stuff (flashing firmware, --enable-rd-mode, --query-root-device etc) works fine with same flasher binary, is this correct?

That's strange, usb host mode is just a flag as any other (r&d mode, root device, serial console flag, lifeguard). So it is pretty strange this fails and other ones work fine. Well then maybe using 0xFFFF would be interesting to try. 0xFFFF -U 0 should disable host mode. You can get static linux binary from here http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/0xFFFF-0.3.1-bin.tar.gz
Just extract it with tar on linux PC and run ./0xFFFF -U 0 as root.

Also as usb host mode is just a flag tested at boot time you could in theory modify startup sequence to ignore it or switch the device back to peripheral mode later at boot time.
Does this script work for switching modes after your device boots?
