Reproduced it just now, so for accuracy:

1) Yes.
2) Semi idle, at around 2% CPU.
Strace reports that it's doing this repeatedly:
gettimeofday({1134050413, 916186}, NULL) = 0
select(16, [3 4 5 15], [], [], {0, 32928}) = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1134050413, 951308}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1134050413, 951700}, NULL) = 0
ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0

3) Yes, it happened first time I started mythmusic.
4) Currently at 100%. The screen behind the dialog is updating the
position in track etc correctly. Playback starts normally, and mythmusic
proceeds through the playlist normally.
5) This is without the patch, running from SVN 8101.
