Thanks, Uwe! The hints given at the URL you provided indeed helped me
out.

Here are the details:

Upgrade to linux-headers-2.6.28-13-generic and linux-headers-2.6.28-13.
Bug still present.

The module lzma mentioned in the above link is not available through my Ubuntu 
9.04's module-assistant GUI.
Even after installation of lzma-source, the module-assistant GUI does not show 
it.
However, simply firing up "m-a build lzma" produces a .deb allright, which 
"dpkg -i" could install.
Afterwards, "modprobe -v sqlzma" worked. So far, so good.

Quick check: With lzma installed and module sqlzma loaded, squashfs
still does not build. That was to be expected.

I used emacs to edit inode.c in the archive directly (didn't bother to unpack 
and repack).
After those changes, "m-a build squashfs" ran through with no problem.
Also smooth sailing for "m-a install squashfs" , and finally, for "modprobe 
squashfs".

Finally, mounting a squash file system and reading all files also
worked.
