Hmm, so firstly I started with the upstream 3.0.x branch, at the 3.0.17.3 tagged commit 426513d88e3e3dc671434db8e724ee5d1b7e1038 (not finding a 3.0.17.4 tag). I cherry-picked two build fixes, 2202c892c8dc1381b596c53c2ebd3ca680061f95 (dav1d) and b689202d9f1621e82acb0976b6bb31455735a535 (caca). I compiled this successfully, and it just works, indicating that indeed just a rebuild is needed. However, I then rebuilt the debian package itself, and installed all of the rebuilt versions of every vlc package I had installed, and it still exhibits the issue. (I used these instructions: https://www.ducea.com/2008/03/06/howto-recompile-debian-packages/). I have no idea at this time what the relevant difference is between them that's causing this.
