I had this problem today. I opened an .flv and the colours were similar to the bug report. I managed to fix it by switching the video output to X11 in VLC preferences: Video > Output Modules > "X11 video output" (need to have advanced options checked). It was set to Autodetect but presumably this decided to choose something other than X11 for a change. Putting the setting at "XVideo extension video output" makes the colours go awry again.
Interestingly, I had the problem affected Totem movie player at the same time. I fixed this by running "gstreamer-properties" and in the video tab switching the default output plugin from Autodetect to "X Window System (No Xv)". A pattern emerges...
