When it offered to initialise my iPod the device was no longer connected, as it turns out. The iPod has songs on it, and can be browsed through Rhythmbox as long as I don't try to copy files onto it.
Checking the filesystem with Baobab shows that it indeed has about 3.6 Gig of songs, and is not full, (i.e. plenty of space before the 16GB limit) cefn@cefn-precise-dell:~/.gvfs/Cefn’s iPod$ df .

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.
