Well, after a number of hours fiddling things, including 
purging/re-installing Myth, Xorg, and gnome, I gave up and re-installed 
the OS. That "fixed" the issue. But it would still be nice if anyone has 
any thoughts on what caused the issue.

I could play my recordings with mplayer using vdpau just fine. I did try 
using the standard decoder and vdpau renderer with no change.
