That's what I do and it works fine for me.

When does this happen?  During music playback?  When you leave it alone for a certain amount of time?

I would plug it into the computer, then it would give the "USB device not recognized" (telling me try reconnecting, etc.).  The screen was black at this point (didn't light up when I plugged it in) and did not respond until I held the power down for 10 seconds, then tried turning it back on.

Still haven't had any problems and I've been messing with it (connecting, disconnecting, power on, power off) pretty heavy.

MarcGuay:
Just for the sake of curiosity could you tell me what you have the following setting set to:

Settings -> General -> Display -> LCD -> Backlight (while plugged in)

Also, if you connect the player while Rockbox is running, does it respond in the same way (black screen, etc)?

The setting you asked about is set to 10 seconds.

I must have been lying when I said that I hadn't plugged it in while Roxbox was running, because when I just now tried it, it went black and threw the error just as before.  And once again, holding down the power for 10 seconds and then turning it on fixed it.  I guess it didn't have anything to do with holding down the button when I turn it off after all.  I just need to remember to not plug it in while Roxbox is running.  Thanks again.

MarcGuay:
Sound about right, but your Sansa is reacting to being plugged-in in a strange way.  If you connect it while Rockbox is running you should get either the "Found new hardware" wizard from Windows (with the player continue to function as normal) or a reboot into the Sansa firmware.

What version of Rockbox are you using?
