Although I can't answer your question about 0.25, I can say I am
seeing the same problems with playing DVD's as you are.  I also did a
complete new install based on Scientific Linux 6.1 (previously using
Mythbuntu) but the same issues were present in the new setup. --
really wish I had stayed with 0.23...
