My attempts at bisecting the problem run into bug 632977 unfortunately.
An external URL that shows the problem: http://trailers.apple.com/movies/universal/cowboysandaliens/cowboysandaliens-tlr1_h1080p.mov Note that you'll need to use "QuickTime/10.0.0" as a user-agent if you want it to download. It won't work with Ogg files, as they don't "fast-start".
I updated everything to git, and it seems to work as expected...
