I can assure you that this is an actual bug.

# gst-register-0.8
rebuilding global_registry (/var/lib/cache/gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml)
rebuilding user_registry (/root/.gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml)
loaded 0 plugins with 0 features
# cd /usr/lib/
# cp -a gstreamer-0.8/ /dev/shm/
# mount --bind /dev/shm/gstreamer-0.8/ gstreamer-0.8
# gst-register-0.8
rebuilding global_registry (/var/lib/cache/gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml)
added plugin ac3parse with 1 feature(s)
added plugin alaw with 2 feature(s)
added plugin alsa with 3 feature(s)
added plugin gstaudio with 0 feature(s)
...

This quite clearly demonstrates that the problem is caused by the filesystem the
plugins are located on: the two invocations of gst-register-0.8 are executed in
otherwise identical situations.

It is unrelated to my prefix, as the very same plugin files (i.e. binary
identical) work when located on any filesystem other than reiser 4.
