IIRC this is due to a bug in older versions of xawtv. I didn't try vlc as it wanted to install too many dependencies but I did try cheese which also wouldn't work. I did find I could capture single frames with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so vgrabbj -d /dev/video0 >grab.jpg or LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so fswebcam --save grab2.jpg which suggests that the packaged libv4l is fine and it is just the apps that are an issue.
