I think I'll still buy a new drive at some point, if only because my current one doesn't write dual-layer DVDs, but there's no longer any rush. @Spanner: thank you, that fixed it.

The problem is that the DVD_AUTH ioctl is failing. So it's either the kernel or the drive. @Spanner: no, I haven't. I'll look into that. @Sebastián Benítez: I've had issues with LG drives before. Well, only that Nero never worked with them, but that doesn't make me hopeful about their implementation of ATAPI. @Diederik van der Boor: I don’t think it’s a libdvdcss issue.

Just a thought. But if you're serious, why not contacting them? ;-) If you don’t like this drive anymore, perhaps the libdvdcss guys do, to improve their software? Just a thought.
