It seems #714b broke it, as #714 and earlier work and later builds don't (edit: up to #815). I did not try every build before and after, just enough to narrow it down. I did check #718 in case it was something to do with the warnings regarding #714b, but airplay didn't work there either.
The log spits out:
ERROR: Action - thread AirPlayServer, Unhandled exception caught in thread process, aborting. auto delete: 0
This is with the latest ios version (7.1.2), streaming video from Safari.

Interesting. I'd noticed some airplay streams that I thought used to work didn't currently work (the visualisation shows, but no video).
So I've had a closer look and tried reverting the commit you mentioned, and sure enough the streams now play with video.
I've added the revert to newclock3/newclock4 trees, so I'll be interested if the next build works better for you.
