Steve,
You can file a bug directly with apple at
<
http://bugreporter.apple.com/> and also ask in the Quicktime-users
mailing list: <
http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/quicktime-users>.
Also, I would be wary of downgrading QT versions because a lot of the
system uses QT for backend stuff and it's unclear how things will react
to it.
If you can, try to find an OS X mac w/ Quicktime 7.2 with one of your
colleagues and test your videos there. This will minimize the time
window to when the codec was broken and help out the bug tracking
tremendously.
