Attempting to unmount, kill nautilus or force-unplug the iPod had no
effect, so I ran
ps aux | grep gvfs | awk '{print $2;}' | xargs -n1 sudo kill -9
...which killed the iPod mount and caused Rhythmbox's hanging on blank
alert box behaviour to resolve itself.
It's offered to reinitialise my iPod. It has no models in the list of
possible models, but I gave it a name and clicked on initialise anyway.
My library seems to be intact now it's actually loaded. I'll see what's
happened to the iPod eventually.

Title:
Rhythmbox hangs with stupid alert box when syncing iPod
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Having deleted all the songs from my iPod Touch 16GB I was trying to
put another 10GB of songs back on.
Wasn't optimistic, thanks to Apple's obfuscated protocols, and sure
enough about a half hour later the whole thing had hung, with a blank
alert box and a greyed out screen. The music I was playing went on for
a bit, but even that has stopped now.
Screenshot attached below, and no, I didn't want 50 copies of Texas
"Put your arms around me". Please don't take this as a sign of my
musical tastes. It was a test run with my girlfriend's music and
clearly a bug that it is somehow writing so many of the same track to
the iPod, or maybe a visual glitch.
Hopefully apport has attached relevant PID information now, so I'm
going to force quit it and try again.
