After talking with jdong on IRC, it appears that this is the normal failure mode for a truncated mp4, and I confirmed that the files were much shorter than expected. It seems that downloading multiple videos simultaneously from Google Video can cause Firefox to silently drop one of the downloads and call the file half a complete download.
