A reboot was not enough unfortunately..
But I found the fix!
I just had to remove sda from the filter in one of the udev rules, that 
now is:
KERNEL!="sd[b-z][0-9]", GOTO="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"

it's quite strange though because it never did it before, so I guess 
that one update
changed its behaviour somehow..
