Here's the next kicker. Somehow my libdvdcss got deleted - probably during an upgrade, but I can only guess. I started VLC with -vv to find a cute README at the top that said that there is no decss library installed. With a little help from the wiki I actually installed that thing again and now DVDs play. Still I wonder why the only error message that appeared anywhere was in dmesg and only in 9.10 began to contain some useful information. To me, this particular bug is fixed, but the usability bug is still open. I cannot imagine how my mom would have dealt with that.
