Benny sent a log after this problem occurred for him (thanks Benny!). His scanner didn't provide the page-width and page-height options so simple-scan was unable to set the page size.
If you are capable please try building from this branch and see if it fixes the problem. The following instructions will allow you to do this on an Ubuntu system:
$ bzr branch lp:~robert-ancell/simple-scan/scan-size simple-scan-fix
$ cd simple-scan-fix
$ sudo apt-get build-dep simple-scan
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=$PWD/install
$ make
$ ./src/simple-scan
