This no longer happens in versions 0.10.9.1 of gstreamermm and above.
Maybe you (or someone) could get an ubuntu package maintainer to upgrade
the gstreamermm version to 0.10.9.1 (or one later than that).  This
would certainly fix the problem.

As far as a release that goes with the GStreamer 1.0.x releases, I can't
be sure.  I just don't have all that much free time lately.
