Right, so Emacs hangs completely. So it seems these are two different
bugs.

It's difficult to say. Network connection problems are notoriously
difficult to emulate easily. When you unplug the USB stick, the OS is
usually notified, and can do... stuff. Most network problems are,
however, that traffic is just goes missing somewhere, so you have to
fiddle with firewall rules to mimic it.
But if the USB stick removal thing reliably hangs your Emacs for you,
that's a good way to test things.
