One more additional note: Behavior does not occur when running gnome-mplayer
from commandline with url from log.

Ok, you are running into an mplayer issue that is seen with some media types.
mplayer for some media types (typically AVI) will look at the length of the
file when mplayer is started and only play to that point in the file. It does
this because gecko-mediaplayer is copying the file to your local hard drive and
then telling mplayer to start playing the file from the cached file. There are
some patches on the mplayer mailing list that corrects this or you can use
gecko-mediaplayer with caching disabled. This disables some of the features
including saving the stream seeking.
playing the url directly from gnome-mplayer is like playing the file from
gecko-mediaplayer with caching disabled.

Thanks, tried applying http://patches.libav.org/patch/18621/ (with a few typo
fixes) to the recent mplayer-vaapi into a custom package, seems to work great
even with the old 1.0.5's. Thanks!
On a side note, it seems possible that issue 132 is related to this (at least
on that issue, the sample video is far too short for the caching effect to be
significant); makes sense that the issue appears primarily on Youtube and its
giant videos.

Great and Issue 132 could definitely be related to this.
