Kevin, I went to http://www.apple.com/html5 and selected the video example to test out what would happen on my iOS4 3G iPhone. It ran normally and allowed rotation when playing. The video tag in the page is as follows.
<video id="videoShowcase" width="848" height="352" src="http:// movies.apple.com/media/us/html5/showcase/2010/demos/apple-html5-demo- tron_legacy-us-20100601_r848-2cie.mov" poster="http://images.apple.com/ html5/showcase/video/images/tron_legacy.jpg" loop="loop" autoplay="autoplay" autobuffer="autobuffer"> <img src="http://images.apple.com/html5/showcase/video/images/ tron_legacy.jpg" /> </video> This is a normal video tag not using embed. I'm not seeing the same issue. Could it be that there is some difference between this video tag and yours?
