rhythmbox does not show Creative ZEN MP3 when plugged in

[Call me Ishmael]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

After upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 my Creative ZEN Stone (1 GB) is not longer being shown in the RB tree, when plugged.
When I plug the device, Gnome shows it in the desktop, and asks whether I want to launch RB.
From Nautilus I can browse the device as usual, read/write the contained files like any other USB device.
Nevertheless I can't manage to have it shown and handled in RB.
In 8.04 it worked just out of the box, I just had to plug in the device, and after a couple of seconds I had it shown in the RB tree.
MTP plugin is installed and checked.
It seems to be similar to Bug #270203, which has been fixed.

Some debugging output:
