I followed Phil's lead and tried the mainline generic packages at

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32.2/

as well. I am happy to report that I can write DVD's again with wodim and Brasero. There are still some strange things occuring, though: before the write, the writer acts funny, making the same cycle of 'spin/move laser/spin again' noises as it did before when it refused to write at all. After the write has completed, the noise cycle begins again until I manually eject the disc. Despite this, the disc is written correctly, as far as Linux or I can tell. (mounts, can read files from it, can umount and eject).

95% solved. Let's keep this going. :d
