File plays with vlc and mplayer but current ubuntu version of gstreamer can't play it.

As I said on IRC, this is a bug in the avi demuxer (if not in whatever created this file in the first place).

It should not put codec_data into h264 caps if the stream format is not AVC.

I would concur that such a file is pretty bogus in the first place.  Following commit makes avidemux check a bit more what goes in codec_data in this case:
