After installing the new version of gnome-app-install it still crashed for me, 
both when manually started and when searching for a plug-in with totem.
gdb still showed the same bad string as previously. dpkg -s gome-app-install 
confirmed the new version (0.5.0-0ubuntu1) was installed.
Looking in AppInstall/Menu.py I noticed a second occurrence of 
gst.caps_from_string. Adding the same split call as was added before the first 
occurrence of gst.caps_from_string solved the issue:

Leaving status as fix-released until someone can confirm gnome-app-
install is still crashing.
