Basic standalone program that reproduces the issue with the MediaPlayer:

http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/8179630/

It breaks the same way with a Camera element instead of the MediaPlayer. It only breaks on device, not on desktop with X11.
Bug is or starts probably somewhere in QDeclarativeVideoRendererBackend.
