I did an update last night, and on reboot this morning jackd complains that it cannot open /dev/snd/seq due to Permission denied. I have already downgraded jackd to 0.118 to no avail - other noteworthy updates last night include the kernel & udev.
Here's the full output of jackd, followed by last night's additions to /var/log/pacman.log - any informed ideas would be appreciated.

Are you in the right group?
[karol@black ~]$ ls -al /dev/snd/seq
crw------- 1 root audio 116, 1 06-02 13:18 /dev/snd/seqEdit: There's a bugreport https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24362 and a thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=937274 already.

OK, so it's a udev bug. Reloading the snd_seq module manually creates the node with the correct permissions, and jackd can now access it.
[mark@squid ~]$ ls -al /dev/snd/seq
crw------- 1 root audio 116, 1 Jun 2 12:17 /dev/snd/seq
[mark@squid ~]$ sudo modprobe snd_seq
Password:
[mark@squid ~]$ ls -al /dev/snd/seq
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 1 Jun 2 13:26 /dev/snd/seqA more permanent workaround seem to be to add snd_seq to the modules array in /etc/rc.conf , which I will try later.
EDIT: tried it, works. Thanks for the pointers, Karol
