K, it seems I was causing this myself as I'm using a locked state on my 
sink. I used this to prevent the window from getting closed. This seems 
to be the cause of my troubles.
I can't even pause my pipeline normally when using a locked state... is 
there anymore documentation out there about the setting a locked state?

For example my pipeline:

uridecodebin ! glimagesink (locked_state)

If I set the pipeline to paused it continues playing. If set it back to 
playing it pauses for the duration of the paused interval. Weird...

Rg,
