Craig,
Is it possible the iPod was 'Removed & Ignored'? In which case you would have to run 'Redetect All Devices...' from handheld options.
This is possible but I tried 'Redetect All Devices' repeatedly to no effect.
If you have 12.0.79 (released soon) could you send us your system information from the help menu.
This is from 12.0.78 I can update it later when 12.0.79 is available

What build of 11.1 are you running?
The latest at the time 11.1.199 or 200
When you say you re-installed iTunes - what version of iTunes did you re-install?
The latest 7.0.0.70 - but it wasn't installing iTunes that fixed the problem it was using the 'Restore to Defaults' function that made MC12 recognise it again,
