Fine, here are some results. It seems the issue is related to XVideo extension and Compiz.

Window Manager Compiz

  - Totem[1] (using "ximagesink") -> no issue
  - Totem (using "xvimagesink" or "autovideosink") -> issue
  - Totem (using "xvimagesink device=0"[2]) -> issue
  - VLC (XV output in prefs) -> issue
  - VLC (X11 output in prefs) -> no issue
  - VLC (ascii art output) -> no issue
  - mplayer -vo gl|gl2|x11 -> no issue
  - mplayer -vo xv -> issue (BTW it's the default one when no -vo is provided)

Window Manager Metacity

  All applications work fine with any video output.

I could perfom more tests using free Ati driver, but I can't enable Compiz with them, so I suppose it's not useful.
