This more recent bug looks promising:
Bug#544354: glib2.0: gio breaks on Lenny kernels when calling
inotify_init1()
Package: glib2.0
Severity: normal
Summary
-------
Recent upstream patches contained in glib2.0_2.20.4-1 cause the
glib2.0-derived
packages in squeeze to depend on kernel functionality --
inotify_init1() --
that is not available in Lenny kernels. These packages should not
depend on
such functionality until squeeze is released.
Remediations
------------
A reasonable compromise might be to adjust the glib2.0 source code to
call
inotify_init whenever inotify_init1 fails...

The fact that your (Jeffrey Ratcliffes's) system can't reproduce
#543587, could it be because I've been using an older and different
#kernel?
# My system
%cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.26-1-686 (Debian 2.6.26-13) ([email protected]) (gcc
version 4.1.3 20080704 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-24)) #1 SMP Sat Jan 10
18:29:31 UTC 2009
If that's the case, maybe this bug can be merged with 543587.
HTH...
