As an update to this, I noticed that this bug does not occur when running compiz instead of metacity. I've downloaded and compiled the latest compiz sources from the freedesktop.org git repository and if I play a movie in fullscreen mode, the controls do disappear properly after a few seconds. When I switch back to metacity however the problem returns.
