I think so. I do have
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstvorbis.so and
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstogg.so

Also Asus MyNet DLNA client on my tablet plays the file without any 
problem.

Now I had some wild idea, could it be that LG decides it does not support 
the file just based on its file extension?

So I renamed the ogg vorbis file to have .mp3 as file extension instead 
of .ogg, and now the television plays back the file without any problem!

Oh yes, the file really is an ogg vorbis file:
$ file /mnt/storage/test/1-01.\ Safe\ From\ Harm.mp3 
/mnt/storage/test/1-01. Safe From Harm.mp3: Ogg data, Vorbis audio, 
stereo, 44100 Hz, ~128000 bps 

I have placed a log and a capture with the renamed, working vorbis file 
here:

http://artipc10.vub.ac.be/~frederik/rygel-working-vorbis.log
