Wow, digging in history here proved embarrassing and amusing.

The documentation was updated to "When the subclass returns GST_FLOW_OK, it
MUST return a buffer of the requested size unless fewer bytes are available
because an EOS condition is near." in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617733 which was filed by none other
than me!

In that bug, I even claimed that I would fix Opera to respect this, but
obviously didn't and even managed to completely suppress it from memory.

Now I've actually fixed it. Yay me.
