Sorry, I missed the footnote about the demo stating "This demo is designed for Firefox 3.1b3. The specification and implementation of the video element are still evolving. So the current code may not work with nightlies." 

I can't tell why the video doesn't play in the nightly though, so I don't know if this bug is valid or not.

putting it in the right product/component may help

Works in m-c nightly. I think this was fixed by bug 486646.
