Just an update for what I did in the end: I cleaned my iPod's motherboard around the component with isopropyl alcohol to remove the corrosion. It has now worked perfectly for me for over a year.

This inspired me to revisit my iPod that has the same problem.  I didn't see any obvious corrosion or other problems around that IC, but I cleaned it with 99% isopropyl alcohol.  That did not fix the problem, so then I tried saratoga's suggestion of applying some flux and reflowing with hot air.  That also did not fix the problem (but nor did it create any new problems as I feared it might considering my as yet modest hot air skills).  I had high hopes, so I'm disappointed and frustrated, as that iPod works 100% in every other way.
