Problem fixed! After hours of trying to diagnose what was going wrong,
I took a long shot and tried overwriting the openwrt-distributed adsl
firmware blob (/lib/firmware/ltq-dsl-fw-a-danube.bin) with the
firmware blob that was originally distributed by BT (the original
supplier of the Home Hub). Hey presto! My dsl connection has been
perfect ever since (even though my dsl supplier is _not_ BT!)

The whole saga is documented here (in case anyone else has the same
problem and wants to try this solution):

Many thanks to all who tried to help. With kind regards, Jaime
