YouTube, HTML5, and Chromium. Why the sudden malfunction?

[Christopher Svanefalk <christopher.svanefalk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Last month, one of the most pleasant surprises I ran across was the fact that Google finally seemed to have defaulted to HTML5 for YouTube. Virtually every video I played (I cannot remember a single counterexample) was working fully in the HTML5 player. It was a real relief, since I really do not want to rely on Flash for my web experience.

The last few weeks, however, something has changed drastically on this front. All of a sudden, the majority of videos are NOT playable. They only throw an "your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available" exception, and refuse to play.

Does anyone know why this is? Are there any possible workarounds? 

I am running Chromium 19, built on Fedora 16.
