This time, though, I installed a command-line system (lucid), then installed the packages necessary for a graphical desktop (all of the packages required by xubuntu-desktop, and some of the recommended ones), then upgraded to Maverick. There shouldn't have been any changes from that which could cause the iPhone to magically play nicely, though.
In a while, I'll convert my root to a btrfs volume and upgrade to Natty in a snapshot to see if I can reproduce the bug again. I'll try not to nuke my /boot this time (what caused me to reinstall; was trying to chroot install fedora and accidentally did rm -r while /boot and /home was bind mounted).
