It must have been old plugins somehow still lying around,
because everything worked fine with
apt-get install --reinstall libvlc0 vlc-nox vlc
I don't know how this situation could have arisen in the
first place, as the problem had persisted over several
upgrades of the VLC packages, but it is fixed now.
Thanks.
