I debugged this for a bit, but the minified source (and broken-ish JS debugger on Nightly) made it really painful.
The error code we're getting is html5.unsupportedads. I'm guessing that there's some sniffing going wrong on YouTube's end. We need their help here.

(Note that the thing telling us to install flash is html5player.js).

Per YouTube, certain partner ads are still in Flash format and are still getting migrated over to HTML5. I'm told the number of such ads is "very small."
