This may seem silly but try to open One window for PCManFM and two tabs,
one for the source (USB) and the 2nd for the destination and start copying
the files.

For me, I usually do this when I have multiple files/folders to transfer
but in most cases, I open one PCManFM window with one tab for the USB,
copy, go to home, paste.

I will try now your approach and see if what would trigger the issue :)
