Well, I just downloaded the tarball once more, and took a look. cmp
says today's tarball is different from yesterdays. Unpacking the
tarball and doing a diff -r reveals that they differ in the contents
of the readme (version goes up from .228 to .233) and the kde library,
/usr/lib/kde4/kcm/adobe/flash_player.so .

So, the versions shouldn't be at issue here. I guess I'll tell my
daughter that youtube is isn't going to work for a few days, until I
get more information, at least.

Adobe's failure to provide cryptographic checksums for those further
undermines my trust in their processes.
