See blog link for full details.

Affects WebKit on iPad only.

When you create the video object with createElement or innerHTML, the video does not load properly. document.write does work, but this is not much different than using straight markup.

Workaround is to load the video file again after creation:

p.node.getElementsByTagName("video")[0];
video.src = "myVideo.mp4";
video.load();

NOTE: Not sure of the iPad Webkit version. Is the drop down above up to date? It lists Safari 3.2 as the latest production version.
