One more piece of mysterious info for the record:
VLC on Windows 10 can play a DVD just fine with the USB drive (the exact same one that hangs on two different linux systems I've now tried).
VLC on linux hangs just like everything else.
I think I'll now give up completely trying to understand what is going on :-).
