Well, I suppose it won't come as a surprise to the experienced that the problem appeared to be the carb and not the pump, as Ben already suggested.
I reconnected the original mechanical fuel pump today and guess what: no starting problems whatsoever! So I've put the SU pump back where it came from: the trunk of my '54 Morris Minor (where it sat for years as a spare one).
Obviously an electrical pump can handle a faulty carb better than a mechanical pump. Because of larger pressure perhaps?
