Build ID: 20130917061800

Steps to reproduce:

If you have an embedded YouTube video, towards the top right, there's a link to YouTube, however clicking that link doesn't open the YouTube app, in fact nothing happens and there's no other (at least obvious) way to open the video in the YouTube app.

HTC One (M7), Android 4.3 (CyanogenMod 10.2 Nightlies), Fennec Nightlies, YouTube 5.0.21

I know this worked once upon a time, so I'll assume that it was a mistake. I assumed it was a regression and that simply no one has reported it.
I don't think we ever supported the ability to handle playback in the native player when a video is embedded from YouTube. However, we support opening HTML5 video source to other players (e.g, http://cd.pn/b; long-tap; open in video player).

It's definitely a link. Perhaps it may be best to make it plain text as currently it's confusing a confusing user experience.
Inspecting the shadow DOM on the player

<div>
  <div class="html5-title-logo hid">YouTube</div>
  <div class="html5-title-text" tabindex="1">Returning from Service: College and IT Careers ...</div>
</div>

.html5-title-logo:hover{text-decoration:underline}

Seems like it's just a label that doesn't really do anything. The link does nothing for me in desktop browser's either.

Tapping the underlined title opens the website from which you can open the native YouTube application from the Android icon exposed on the address bar.

This bug seems invalid based on the above.
