After careful investigation i come to the conclusion that with my mac mini late 2009 there is also something weird going on.
I always thought that I had smooth playback until I begane to pay close attention to it.
Before I just looked at the frames dropped and that is/was always less that 4-5. These are dropped during the startup of the movie.
Just now I played a movie and enabled "codec info" for about 30 minutes of watching the movie and I noticed that there are no frame drops, but when I notices a kind of stutter the fps drops from an about 24 to about 14-17 .
This is just a fraction of a second, after dropping to 14-17 it speeds up to 30 to level at 24 again, is under half a second.
This does not happen very often, say 2-3 times in the 30 minutes of playback I notices so it is very hard to notice if you dont pay close attention to it.
Is this the problem you are referring to, D-tyme ?I think it is the same problem
Setup:
XBMC SVN 33147
OSX 10.6.4 with all patches, including graphic update
Panasonic 42PG20ES, 60 Hz overscan enabled Full HD
In XBMC sync is allways on als VDA
no framerate adjustments enabled
The files I played are MKV and AVI.
the MKV is played with VDA, de AVI ins not.
Here is a log of the MKV being played. The strange thing is that the log is not completely written.

The movie plays on for a whole hour but stuff is being written to the debug log only not something the console can read. The filesize increases, and the timestamp also is updated
