I can confirm this with 

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b1pre) Gecko/20080920033605 Minefield/3.1b1pre

But the result probably doesn't depend on controls attribute.
I've go same result just with

<video src="http://editingarchive.com:8000/eatv-public.ogg"
controls>no Fallback content</video>

This looks to be the same bug as bug 455654. Is the only difference between the two the fact that one is vorbis and one is theora?

Martin, you say you get the same results with the snippet in comment 2. But that has no 'autoplay' so it won't automatically play.
