Hm, works for me with:
gconftool-2  -s /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/videosink vaapisink --type=string

I aggree though, that the resulting pipeline looks strange: there are some software-only elements 
(like ffmpegcolorspace) added to the pipe but obviously not used.

You can also try snappy (git://git.gnome.org/snappy), works nicely together with clustter-gst (and 
gst-vaapi) out-of-the-box ;-)
