I'm sorry I might have jumped in precipitation here...
Here's the relevant parts of the log:

So looks like I have the right libs...
My bad call might have been triggered by the "52" in libavcodec.52.dylib, but that 52 doesn't mean ffmpeg 0.5.2 right?

Decided to take a break from work for a sec and think about this. You're probably seeing the correct version since the FFmpeg 0.6.2 release still uses the 52.xx versions internally. So, you should see these versions in Preferences:
libavutil 50.15. 1
libavcodec 52.72. 2
libavformat 52.64. 2

Correct. I'd forgotten that as well. Unfortunately there's not much we can do about it. (The version numbers and the forgetfullness.
)

OK, the new DMG is up and installs the FFmpeg libs into the default location. This still doesn't explain why Audacity fails to load them if they are installed in any other location. Or is it just me?

Nope, I don't believe it is just you. That message is not right at all.

Other OS X users have had success detecting the old 0.5 FFmpeg in 1.3.13 even if installing 0.5 in arbitrary locations. We should be able to cope with changing FFmpeg versions, but did you ever use 0.5 in 1.3.13 from arbitrary locations? If you wanted you can still get 0.5 here:
http://lame.buanzo.com.ar/FFmpeg_Librar ... on_OSX.dmg
I'm also just wondering if that dodgy installer has somehow caused confusion and if initialising .cfg would help?

The problem was that I clicked on "libavcodec.52.dylib" instead of "libavformat.52.dylib" in the file-open dialog. I thought you weren't supposed to be able to do that? Here's what happens when I click on the correct file:

So put this down to user error. Audacity will load the FFmpeg libraries from an arbitrary location as long as you click on the correct .dylib file when browsing for the FFmpeg libraries. Sorry for the false alarm.

Isn't there a filter in the file browse window that says "only avformat.dylib" or similar?

No. The Format dropdown is either "Dynamic libraries (*.dylib)" or "All files (*)".
