Lucas Beeler's answer has led me to try and more carefully reproduce the
problem, and it's led me to find the explanation :

Contrary to what I thought, KDE (4), in my setup, does not automatically
mount external devices : it only notices their attachment to the
computer, pops up a notification, and creates a node for it in Dolphin
sidebar. However, one needs to browse into that node (either in the file
manager, or in the Open File/Folder dialog such as the one used by
Shotwell) in order to have the device effectively mounted.

(One may also click on the pin-shaped symbol in the notification window
to have the device mounted.)

This behavior is configurable in System Settings > Advanced User
Settings > Removable Devices.

So, KDE mis-use issue, really. Sorry for the noise, and thank you for
your help.
