I finally found time to perform further testing, using kernel packages from snapshots.debian.org, and the last one that positively worked (at least using GNOME's webcam application Cheese) was:
linux-image-3.1.0-1-686-pae 3.1.8-2 Linux 3.1 for modern PCs
This loaded the following video modules:
gspca_vc032x gspca_main videodev media
Tests using 3.2.1-1 or more recent crashed as described before. This at least gives us a time frame for when the regression started.
