Ho! Found a workaround. If I don't whitelist YouTube I get the ClickToFlash placeholder in place of a YouTube video window.
I can then use the ClickToFlash options from the CTF "gear" menu in the top left of the video window. If I click on "Play Fullscreen in QuickTime Player" it opens in QuickTime Player and plays well. This works whether I have CTF set for Flash or h.264 video.
I can watch YouTube again!
But it really shouldn't be necessary to jump through all these hoops. If QuickTime Player can play a YouTube video well, in full screen, on an old TiBook, it should work just as well in Safari in a smaller window.
Further evidence to the contrary, I blame Flash.
