Reinhard,

Thanks! I'm all about getting the Debian package merged or synced, so please let me know what I can do to help. For Quantal, does a sync make more sense than a merge?

I have a test case for this here (uses GStreamer, includes a sample Canon MOV file):

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jderose/+junk/testcase-937561/view/head:/testcase.py

But in writing that test case, I realized that there are deeper issues going on with this, at least from the GStreamer side of things. Although there was certainly the bug in libav that Måns Rullgård found, my test case only fails when gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad is installed. Remove -bad, and the correct height is reported.

This might suggest that an element in -bad has the wrong priority, but it also suggests that gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg isn't actually using the broken code path in libav in the first place. I'll keep digging into this.
