Just had a closer look on the issue.  Well, I should have done that
before sending the bug report.  The test file I tried was only 10.4
seconds (which I didn't realize, as I couldn't seek ;).  Seeking works
with longer files.  -forceidx doesn't help with the short file.

Backwards seeking is still somewhat buggy.  But it always was for Ogg.
Strangely -forceidx doesn't help with that.  

Sorry for any frustration my email might have caused.  I'll still upload
recent theora samples by tuesday or wednesday.
