[YouTube-API] HTML5 video playback on Android

I'm using YouTube iframe embed on Android 2.3.3 on Samsung Galaxy S.  I've disabled plugin support in Webkit to force HTML5 video player (instead of Flash player). 

When I click the video thumbnail the video player is launched *but* it does not start playback until I click "play" button.  So I need to click twice: once to start the HTML5 video player and then again to start video playback inside the player.  In m.youtube.com the playback starts immediately after clicking the thumbnail. How can I get this behavior?

I've tested this:

    <iframe id="player" type="text/html" width="640" height="390"
            src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/u1zgFlCw8Aw?enablejsapi=1&origin=example.com&autoplay=1&enablejsapi=1"
            frameborder="0">

and I've also tried playVideo() in the javascript API like described in http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/iframe_api_reference.html
