I'm not aware of a kernel module named v4l1compat, so I can't see how
explicitly loading such a module would have helped anyway.

The problem you were facing was a userspace one, namely, how to force an
executable to load a library that would not otherwise be loaded. That's
what LD_PRELOAD achieves.
Is "loading /usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so" synonymous with "loading module
v4l1_compat"? If so, then why does the library work for skype in one case
and not in the other?
Dude, Liam explained that. The file 'v4l1compat.so' is a library file,
known as DLL files (dynamic link libraries) in Windows and as SO files
(shared object) in Linux. It is not a part of the kernel, and therefore
is not a module that can be modprobe'd, blacklisted, etc.
HTH,
