When I attempted to re-create this process in 2.4 using the instructions
posted here by John I was able to load Open Street Map as the basemap I
could not download the data. I tried loading it from the canvas (link to
screen dump with error):

It looks like QGIS is attempting to download data in a bbox of mercator
projected coordinates, while the overpass API is expecting WGS84 degrees.
This is surely a bug of the OSM plugin.
Maybe the plugin uses the project CRS as default for the bbox coordinates.
This might work:
- Create a polygon layer in WGS84 drawing a bbox polygon of the area of
your interest with EPSG:3857 as project CRS and Openlayers background
- Delete the Openlayers background layer, change project CRS to
EPSG:4326 and zoom to the extent of your polygon
- Download the OSM data
- Switch project CRS back to EPSG:3857, and load the Openlayers background.
