Great input, everyone! Turns out that Al and Tony had it nailed. I
rotated the paper 90-degrees and ensured that both front and rear scans
pulled from the non-punched side. Now I'm getting perhaps one or two
snags out of every 100 pages - easy enough to correct after the fact.
I'm quite impressed with 'gscan2pdf' on my x86_64 Linux box. A little
quirky to setup, but has all the features you could ask for.

My thought is more mechanical. Is there a noticable burr round the holes
in the pages (some manuals are prone to this) which is more likely to
catch with the pages one way up or one way round?
Have you tried scanning the back sidees with the pages rotated by $\pi$
(and then correct in software later). It may be they slip more easily
that way. All,
I'm trying to scan some documentation on "IBM PC" sized 3-hole paper. For
some reason the scanner is prone to pulling multiple sheets through when
doing the reverse sides. Doesn't seem to have this issue when doing the
facing side. I haven't seen this with US letter size paper, either.
Wondering if anyone has any tips for avoiding this?
The scanner is a Umax Astra 2400S w/ Umax sheet feeder.
The first thing that comes to mind is static cling. Check the room
humidity, if possible, and/or get some antistatic spray.
