I have this problem too with my new webcam (I bought it today : logitech C270).
The unity or gnome-shell or xfce session is killed very very fast each time I want to read the webM videos that I've recorded with cheese. reading wmv videos kill session too.
Trying to capture a video using vlc 2 ... or starting guvcview (1.5.2) kill the session immediately. Cheese is the only one which work.
The only way to read the webm videos is to use firefox 12 beta 4 (HTML5 reader).
Sorry ... I can't tell you if it's a regression cause I did not use my previous webcam during few months.
