Safari bug with width only specified on <video>

Safari has a weird way of scaling the video element width and height, if only width is given. In contrast to all other browsers (that include Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera), Safari scaling of a video element results in only the video controls being scaled to the appropriate width, while the video itself stays smaller. See the attached screenshot safari_width_bug.tiff.

This is the spec with which it was created:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Guide to HTML5 video: chapter 3: example 1</title>
    <style type="text/css">
    video {
      width:   800px;
    }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Chapter 3: example 1</h1>
    <video controls>
        <source src="HelloWorld.mp4" type="video/mp4">
        <source src="HelloWorld.ogv" type="video/ogg">
    </video>
  </body>
</html>

A problem also occurs when only height is set and not width - the video the has quite a massive white space at top and bottom.
