Empty Playlists after updating iTunes and iPhone

I never had smart playlist problems – until tonight. After updating iTunes to 9.0.3 and iPhone to 3.1.3, I now have some smart playlists that are totally empty. Is there a fix or workaround for this?

In fact, I deleted the first playlist that this happened with, then re-synced the iPhone, then recreated the playlist WITH A DIFFERENT NAME, and still the list is empty. Now I find that there is at least one other playlist without any content.

I've checked the rules of the playlists, and they work fine in iTunes and when the phone is connected to my Mac, it even shows content in those playlists when I look from iTunes to the phone. But on the phone, no content.

If anyone has an idea, I'll try it (unless it involves fire, hammers, or hydrochloric acid...)
