launched xfwm4-tweaks-settings, to Compositor tab, unchecked the box [ ] Enable display compositing. Tried totem again, and no washed-out transparency. Workaround confirmed.

Why this happens with totem and not mplayer, vlc, parole, mpv, or OpenShot, that's a head-scratcher. Especially mpv, since mpv & totem are linked to almost all the same libraries (mpv also uses libz.so.1 and linux-vdso.so.1)
