Well I did let it run for about thirty minutes before I killed it.

Okay. Both gst-register-0.8 and gst-compprep-0.8 completed.

LC_ALL=C GST_REGISTRY=/var/lib/gstreamer/0.8/registry.xml sudo strace -f
-e trace=file -o gstreg-strace.log gst-register-0.8 2>&1 | tee
gstreg-out.log

LC_ALL=C GST_REGISTRY=/var/lib/gstreamer/0.8/registry.xml sudo strace -f
-e trace=file -o gstcomp-strace.log gst-compprep-0.8 2>&1 | tee
gstcomp-out.log

Both complete relatively quickly. FWIW, logs at the following.

<http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/bugs/gstreamer0.8>

I tested this with 0.8.11-2.


--------

The full process went like this.

purge gst*

sudo rm -rf /root/.gstreamer-0.8

sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.8-0 libgstreamer-plugins0.8-0

succeeds

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-misc

and here we hang

ctrl-c


LC_ALL=C GST_REGISTRY=/var/lib/gstreamer/0.8/registry.xml sudo strace -f
-e trace=file -o gstreg-strace.log gst-register-0.8 2>&1 | tee
gstreg-out.log

completes pretty quickly

LC_ALL=C GST_REGISTRY=/var/lib/gstreamer/0.8/registry.xml sudo strace -f
-e trace=file -o gstcomp-strace.log gst-compprep-0.8 2>&1 | tee
gstcomp-out.log

hangs

sudo rm /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstgconfelements.so

LC_ALL=C GST_REGISTRY=/var/lib/gstreamer/0.8/registry.xml sudo strace -f
-e trace=file -o gstreg-strace.log gst-register-0.8 2>&1 | tee
gstreg-out.log

LC_ALL=C GST_REGISTRY=/var/lib/gstreamer/0.8/registry.xml sudo strace -f
-e trace=file -o gstcomp-strace.log gst-compprep-0.8 2>&1 | tee
gstcomp-out.log

completes 

Please let me know what else you need.
