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.
