I rebooted today, and now it works: the USB drives are instantly recognized.
That suggests that some process that should normally be running had crashed when I tried this yesterday (or the system was somehow in an insane state, although there was no other indication of this). I wonder what I could have done to fix this problem without rebooting. This being Linux, it seems like there must have been some way to do that, but I've no idea what it might have been. -- usb flash drive not working.
