FYI, I am now using the following - incredibly ugly - hack to turn the LED off (in /etc/rc.local):

mplayer -tv driver=v4l2 tv:// -vo xxxx >/dev/null &

That works because mplayer opens the input before it figures the output is nonsense and exits with an error. Because it opens and closes the input the webcam LED is turned off...
