I'm running head and I think I've seen this. I don't tend to watch
many DVDs (too many recordings to watch! ;-) ) but a couple of weeks
ago I was watching Equilibrium with my girlfriend and we noticed
something like what you describe. I didn't try backing up and seeing
if it happened again. I also didn't notice if it was on chapter
boundaries, but it could make sense. I attributed it to scratches on
the disk, since it came from the library, though it didn't behave
quite like a usual scratch --- and the disk looked clean when I
checked it afterwards.

A few days after that (but still running the same version of head) we
were watching a brand new DVD, Robin Hood the Most Wanted Edition, and
saw the same thing. This time I was pretty sure it wasn't related to
scratches, since we'd just opened the disk five minutes before we
started watching it. Again we didn't notice if the problems occurred
on chapter boundaries, but it's quite possible.

Anyway, long way of saying "I think this still occurs in svn head".
