VLC 0.7.0 included 2 ts demux. The standard one, that already depended
on libdvbpsi, and a legacy much less featured one that could be compiled
without this lib. 

Since a major API change occured between 0.7.x and 0.8.0, all the
demuxes had to be partly rewritten. The legacy ts demux (that was BTW
unable to read lots of ts streams) was dropped at that time.

That's a bug in some version check of ffmpeg, that was included a few
days ago when support for some new ffmpeg codecs was added. A quick fix
is to upgrade ffmpeg to the current cvs.
