Short update: this now works for me if I open the Device Notifier
(KDE, don't know what the Gnome counterpart is), and then click the
iPod device. After selecting "Open with Dolphin", the iPod is properly
mounted and shows up in Rhythmbox again. Just tried with a USB memory
stick as well - I have to manually click the device and open in
Dolphin before it's mounted, whereas before USB devices where
automounted.

That probably means there's a setting/config file somwhere where you
can request automounting of USB devices... or?
