Okay, this is highly weird. I did some more research and found some hints on http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL#USB_sticks_and_drives_do_not_automount_correctly - the thing that fixed the issue for me was to set "policy at_console" to "false" in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf.
Since I didn't really like the idea of messing with dbus/hal config files I decided to investigate further. The comment above the line I modified said that this requires consolekit (which is installed on my system), so I reverted the setting and ran ck-launch-session - and my problems were gone. Interestingly, this seems to be persistent: even after a system reboot everything still works. I have no idea why consolekit stopped working (or why it works again) but I'll just pretend this didn't happen and close the bug.
