For anyone who's interested, this alpha 23 release has significantly  
improved the statistics on dropped frames on my Nokia E71:

Decoded file: E:\Ogv\BBB-320x180.ogv
12522 frames displayed
1601 dropped frames (2)

compared with Alpha 22:

Decoded file: E:\Ogv\BBB-320x180.ogv
7370 frames displayed
6754 dropped frames (2)

However, I can't detect any subjective improvement in quality when I  
watch the videos. Stuart thinks that we're hitting a limitation of the  
display electronics on the E71 (and also the Nokia 5800). I does not  
seem capable of refreshing the screen at the desired 30 fps. The CPU  
(369 MHz ARM 11 on the E71) is clearly coping much better now though.

Cheers,

Nik
