This problem apparently because youtube uses a forward slash in their "t" param.
On the youtube.py (the plugin itself), the url is built with a urllib.quote of 
pythin which escapes this forward slash with a %25.
I guess gst's API shouldn't "unescape" these URL's and this is a youtube plugin 
bug.

I've noticed this plugin was replaced with a C one (in gnome's git repo)
and they had the same escape method there.

Attached a suggested patch.
