I experimented to check the situation in more detail and made the following observations: 
Test: Xubuntu running live from the CD-rom. 
Result:  Flash runs well in full-screen.

Test: Installing the original (at releas of Ubuntu 10.10) Flash player.
Result: Full-screen Flash video works sometimes / but sometimes a restart of Firefox is required to make it work.

Test: Switching of compiz (no effects). 
Result: Full-screen Flash video seem to work reliable.

So there are several "players" involved: 
- intel-driver  (that has reported problems)
- flash-player (that potentialy uses cababilities that the driver does not provide reliably)
- compiz (again, potentialy uses broken cababilities of the intel driver)

@Pedro Corde Real:  Could you check if Flash-full-screen video works if
you disable compiz
