First of all, new version of youtube-dl is available: 2010.07.14. It still fails to download anything, but patch the problem is discussed:
http://bitbucket.org/rg3/youtube-dl/issue/164/youtube-dl-20100714-does-not-download
and the patch is available here:
https://bitbucket-assetroot.s3.amazonaws.com/rg3/youtube-dl/20100722/164/ytdl-workagain-201007.patch

Because of Gentoo changes patch does not apply cleanly, so corrected version will be attached. With this patch and the latest youtube-dl it works again.
