Apple forums showed several threads and hundreds of posts by other people with the exact same problem over the previous few days.
I made a post saying (truthfully) that I had managed to get the iPod working again - by using Winamp. Instead of iTunes.
Within hours, all the message threads about that problem had quietly disappeared.
I decided to return the iPod.
