The bug is also occurring on Windows XP Service Pack 3.

I can confirm this behaviour.
Anyway, "Video is loading..." message is in my opinion better, from a usability point of view, to some extents, then the previous "[no video]" message (for releases 0.8.6x).
In my opinion an ideal solution would be having the plugin displaying dinamically a message representing its actual status (from the readme notes of 0.9.2): IDLE/CLOSE=0, OPENING=1, BUFFERING=2, PLAYING=3, PAUSED=4, STOPPING=5, FORWARD=6, BACKWARD=7, ENDED=8, ERROR=9. PLAYING message should be fading.
This status can be read using javascript APIs. Anyway, as far as I know, it can't be displayed in the videolan area using javascript.
From an API usr point of view, it may be also very useful being able to control the display of these message form the APIs, that is at least toggle these messages on/off.
