A little followup: using totem's preferences to manually set the contrast slider to 64 (using xvattr -a XV_CONTRAST in a terminal to monitor exactly when it reaches 64), totem saves and remembers the setting each time it's subsequently run. So it may be a problem with totem's internal contrast handling that's to blame. So a "fix" is to manually set the contrast slider to 64, but there's still a bug somewhere that should be fixed to avoid this headache for others.
