Googling a bit more and with some experiments, I found the problem.
Channels are swapped if you use accelerated video rendering but
software decoding. If both are soft, or both accelerated there is no
problem.

And, btw, to get hw video decoding I had to write a file in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg
with

EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1

There are some more settings here

http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer

and a fully commented file here

I don't know how useful are the rest, but this one really enables HW in my
nvidia card. Perhaps it should be a good idea to add it to the rpm, after
downloading binaries. If it does not cause trouble in other chipsets.
Will try on intel...
