I have solved this problem, simply by creating a new network connection
in Network Manager and using that instead.
Investigating why the new one works fine whereas the original one
doesn't: if I compare .gconf/system/networking/conenctions/{2,17} -
(blanking out the mtime attributes to make it clearer) - there doesn't
seem to be much difference:

Ah, but it I go into gconf-editor, navigate to
system/networking/connections/2/gsm and unset network-type, then the
connection works again. Hence that entry seems to be the cause of the
problem.
