Indeed I had that turned on.

Isn't this more likely to indicate a bug in gnash (which makes valid
ActionScript code appear to be buggy)?  I suppose it's possible that
the production YouTube flash application is referencing undefined members
several times a second, but it seems unlikely.  (What does flash do
when you do so?  Raise an exception?  Or just blunder on?)  If it's
true, shouldn't we report the problem to the flash programmers at YouTube?
