??  For a few years now, I've been able to read from and write to a USB
medium which was HFS+ formatted with Mac's Disk Utility.

You do have this line in /etc/modules? :

    hfsplus

Besides that, there's the hfsplus package. containing commandline tools
to exchange data with HFS+ partitions, and to perform certain
conversions (to/from MacBin, BinHex, Mac text encoding).
