Are you using the HTML5 video player or Flash video player? You could check this via right click the video and see the context menu. I guess you are using HTML5 video player, then this bug should be unrelated to Flash.

It seems that the video is reloaded, but it returns to the previous position immediately after the reload. And this behavior is identical between Firefox and Chrome on my machine.

For this bug I was using Flash - that's why I added the "[Youtube][Flash]" tags in the title, to differentiate from the HTML5 player. Indeed I also get this with the HTML5 player (this is mentioned in another bug), but not as often as with the Flash player (which is almost always).
