When will the original Doom be back on XBLA?

Yeah, really, XBLA Doom is probably the most accurate console port of Doom available, from what I hear.

Porting a 15+ year old game to a console with lots of resources without adding anything extra does not really impress me, so I don't think it's a good port.

I don't need or want any additional engine features (such as room above room and other hacks), Doom doesn't need them.

Sure it does, custom levels and mods is and has always been one of the best things about Doom. It's also jDoom's weakness, as it doesn't even have proper boom support.

I played a -ton- of Doom on XBLA both by myself and with friends (completing it on ultra violence solo), and I never once had it freeze.

I might look into reproducing it later, I think it was something with the menu system... Doom has at least frozen my 360 multiple times while no other game has.

The freezing used to happen to me a lot, although only when I was playing the game offline (as in, not connected to Xbox Live at all). I re-downloaded the game shortly before it was removed from the Live store and - presto! - it doesn't freeze up at all anymore. So perhaps they may have released a patch that addressed the freezing issue?
