I have a similar problem. Dell SP2208WFP webcam. Works in Ekiga, doesn't in Cheese. I get a gray screen. The program does seem to recognize the device but I get no image, not even after a couple of minutes.

dmesg:
[35531.804074] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Monitor Webcam (SP2208WFP) (05a9:2643)

Let me know how I can help.
Hope this report is useful.
