This is maybe https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626515.
Thanks Eugen, looks very much like it - will give the workaround a crack and
see.
Cheers,

No joy - doesn't change behaviour.
For reference, I altered ekigaconf at
c:\Users\dave\AppData\Roaming\ekiga.conf
It is correct, I have added it as example
http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Windows_Users
To read:
<applyto>/apps/ekiga/general/user_interface/video_display/disable_hw_accel</applyto>
<type>bool</type>
<default>true</default>
I could tell Ekiga was writing to this file by the date modified timestamp of
the file changing concurrently with the running of Ekiga.
A debug output is here (I simply launched Ekiga, and used the call panel to
attempt to locally preview video):

This is on a Dell E4310, running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit. It has Intel HD
integrated graphics. I am using the integrated webcam in this case.
I have another laptop here with an nVidia GPU, I'll see if it's any different.
I have put some (not so useful) info at
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626515
