Glad it was useful!
No crashes here yet, maybe in the Ubuntu 10.04 repo the library versions differ enough from those on 11.10 that you get somewhat different results? I've only tried the build/install after upgrading my HTPC to 11.10 so I'm not sure.
It's also possible you're seeing bugs in FFmpeg or XBMC itself since it does pull the very latest code every time you run the script. You'll get the very latest features and updates, but you'll also get any bugs that have just sneaked in but haven't been found/fixed yet. Waiting a few days and re-running the script may yield different results.
I'll probably update my installations within the next couple of weeks and update or enhance the script if needed.

I'm using VAAPI on my i3 2100 build. If I use the script posted earlier, is a compile switch of --enable-vaapi or something like it (similar to vdpau) necessary?

--enable-vaapi is indeed a valid option when building FFmpeg but I'm afraid I've not experimented with it. Try it and let us know!

So, to clarify, will the updates to ffmpeg that allow XMBC to play hi10p natively be part of the final Eden release, or will this not happen until 11.1 or Frodo?

I could be wrong but that looks like preliminary work to force it to decode those particular h264 profiles in software mode. Without the software decoder to back this up however...
