Alright, this is a bit funky. First of all, contents of /media before
the reboot (I had manually cleaned it up to look the way it should since
it was full of junk directories from previous mount points):

---
$ cd /media
$ ls -l
total 44
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root  8192 2008-03-27 20:12 Archive
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root  999     6 2008-03-29 06:15 cdrom -> cdrom0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root  999  4096 2008-03-29 06:15 cdrom0
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16384 2008-03-27 20:12 Data
drwx------ 4 user root 16384 1970-01-01 01:00 disk
drwxr-xr-x 5 user user   104 2008-02-25 17:42 disk-1
---

And now after the reboot:

---
$ ls -l
total 60
drwx------ 2 root root  4096 2008-04-04 21:02 Archive
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root  8192 2008-03-27 20:12 Archive_
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root  999     6 2008-03-29 06:15 cdrom -> cdrom0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root  999  4096 2008-03-29 06:15 cdrom0
drwx------ 2 root root  4096 2008-04-04 21:48 Data
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16384 2008-03-27 20:12 Data_
drwx------ 2 root root  4096 2008-04-04 20:48 disk
drwx------ 2 root root  4096 2008-04-04 20:48 disk-1
drwx------ 4 user root 16384 1970-01-01 01:00 disk-2
drwxr-xr-x 5 user user   104 2008-02-25 17:42 disk-3

As you can see the old directories from the last session are still
there, albeit with changed permissions/ownership, unaccessible to the
normal user and with nothing mounted to them. The ones now mounted are
Archive_, Data_, disk-2 and disk-3. These are the symptoms of this bug
that I initially encountered / was aware of.

Now, trying to run the same gnome-mount command from last time revealed
this:

---
$ gnome-mount -vnbtd /dev/sde1
gnome-mount 0.8
** Message: Given device '/dev/sde1' is not a volume or a drive.
---

Weird. fdisk further reveals:

---
$ fdisk -l

What used to be /dev/sdE1 is now /dev/sdC1 (along with changes to all
other device names).

Running gnome-mount on the new device name shows this:

---
$ gnome-mount -vnbtd /dev/sdc1
gnome-mount 0.8

Which, as far as I can tell, is exactly the same except for the "already
mounted" error message at the end which I already mentioned previously.
If I manually unmount that partition first, it should look exactly the
same. With the exception of the new device name of course. Will reboot
again shortly to see if the device names change again.

By the way, is just pasting the output here alright or would you prefer
I save it to a text file and add that as an attachment?
