Well Conal, since you've kind of revived this topic, I guess I should confess...
Whilst tearing my hair out looking for the complicated solution at the database level, my problem was that I had customised the navbar-default.jsp template and not checked the (old 1.4.1) code against the 1.5 code. If anyone else has this problem, make sure to check the nav links: Dspace 1.4 - <a href="...browse-title"..> DSpace 1.5 - <a href="...browse?type=title" Silly me.

In the logs I could see a JDBC exception that the "bi_item" table did not exist. I eventually worked out I had forgotten to run the browse indexer program: [dspace]/bin/index-init This is actually covered in the documentation for dspace 1.5's - in point 13 in "update.html", but I had missed it. Once I ran the indexer, everything worked. Hope this helps someone!
