I assume you're getting v4l2src from gst-plugins-good in your distro? v4l2src
is still marked as 'experimental', and needs to be explicitly enabled precisely
because it's a bit buggy still.

Despite that, this specific problem was, I believe, fixed in CVS shortly after
the 0.10.6 release of gst-plugins-good:

2007-07-17  Stefan Kost  <ensonic at users.sf.net>

        * sys/v4l2/gstv4l2src.c: (gst_v4l2src_init):
          Initialize num_buffers with minimum value.

There should be a new release out next month (on Feb 18th), but in the meantime
if you're up for it, you could try building CVS and see if it fixes it for you
(warning: you'll also need to build either CVS or one of the pre-0.10.16
pre-releases of Core & Base first. Pre-release tarballs are at:
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gstreamer/pre/ and
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gst-plugins-base/pre/)
