I removed the DVD drive mechanism in order to examine it properly. Often with these there's a peg which prevents the tray from ejecting until the DVD has been unclamped from the drive spindle. Through wear, it can happen that the peg isn't withdrawn before the tray starts to move, jamming both the peg and the tray. Taking a tiny shaving off the peg with a craft knife can cure the problem, as it did in this case!
