Unbelievable.

Now I had Chrome  open (which is the browser I usually use) with a youtube 
video playing exhibiting the issue. 
Then I paused it and I opened Firefox, which appears to run an older version of 
the flash plugin (which btw is disturbing: why on earth do I have a different 
flash player per browser? anyways...), I opened the same youtube video and the 
issue was GONE. 
Then I came back to Chrome, without restarting it or even reloading the page, 
and I hit play again, and now it's GONE TOO in Chrome. After closing Firefox 
and restarting Chrome, the issue is still gone.

The fact that the issue persists across reboots and the "fix" persists across 
browser restarts almost completely discards that the issue may lie in the flash 
player itself. 
Apparently, something in that older version of the flash player "triggers" 
something somewhere in the system (that is then "remembered") which makes video 
timing go back to normality (while it is wrongly initialised until that thing 
is triggered).
It's pretty weird.

Next time I reboot I'll let you know whether the issue is back, but it
will almost certainly be.
