Thank you for the great report! I believe this issue to be fixed in youtube-dl 2014.11.25.1. See our FAQ if you need help updating.

Sorry if I am hijacking this thread....but this looks quite similar to this issue:
#4259
(embedded YouTube URL points to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVCR29aE_OQ)

I am still getting the same result with 2014.11.25.1

I originally listed it as a site-request, maybe I was incorrect?

Sorry and/or Thanks in advnace!

@phihag Thanks for the fix 👍

@RingoTheDog I added my error message from 2014.11.25.1 to that ticket in case it helps (but my error seems to contain less info).
