I think I found the cause. It's an issue with the mult-threaded h264 decoding
in libav.

This shows the issue for me in the 1.0 branch (using the internal libav 0.8.5
snapshot of gst-libav):

 gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=ironman3-tlr1-m4mb0_h1080p.mov ! qtdemux !
avdec_h264 max-threads=2 ! xvimagesink

This does not:

 gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=ironman3-tlr1-m4mb0_h1080p.mov ! qtdemux !
avdec_h264 max-threads=1 ! xvimagesink

I suspect the libavcodec my gstreamer1.0-libav is using doesn't have this issue
(or it has been disabled there).

Can you confirm that the second pipeline fixes the issue for you too?
