Uninstalling libvdpau1 is a known workaround. You have removed hardware video decoding support which may result in higher CPU usage during video playback and reduced video performance and quality especially with HD videos. This may or may not be a big deal for you, but removing libvdpau1 is not a definite solution anyway.

As Stephen Warren explained, libvdpau is not the component to blame here because:
"libvdpau is just a wrapper library that is used to locate the vendor-specific VDPAU driver. The problem is either in the Ubuntu desktop environment (window manager/compositor), the application which uses VDPAU (e.g. Adobe Flash) or the VDPAU driver itself (e.g. NVIDIA driver)."

I wish we could blame some other project because there's a better chance of fixing this bug (even with Nvidia's binary drivers), but so far the ball is in Adobe's court.
