The "Loading" message is clearly wrong, but Safari 5 does show the poster when at video element has a valid poster attribute adn `preload="none"`. Without a poster attribute you won't see the first frame, but I believe this is the correct behavior because it isn't possible to display the first frame without loading a movie's metadata, which is what `preload="metadata"` is for.

Having said that, `preload="metadata"` doesn't behave correctly in Safari - https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43673
