AFAICT from the configure flags (linked from Chris' post FFmpeg is only used for Ogg Vorbis and Theora, and they have a separate binary-only (ie not in Chromium) implementation of H.264 for Chrome.

The configure line shown is a part of the chromium tree. Chrome is not chromium.
The ffmpeg DLL distributed with Chrome includes the H.264 symbols (verify it yourself by running strings on it) and, incidentally, does not include the symbols for GPL only ffmpeg code).
And if that isn't enough evidence for you, Google could have dispensed with the whole thread instantly by saying "We don't use ffmpeg for that".
