The current behavior is "correct" in as much as both the media element and the tree parser do exactly what the spec requires. 

I chatted with Hixie about this and he will be updating the spec:

Hixie: eric_carlson: ah the problem is that innerHTML technically removes an element from a document and so it blocks autoplay?
...
Hixie: maybe the solution is to only pause() the resource if the element is removed from a document and not reinserted in the same task?
Hixie: actually that makes sense in general
Hixie: forget innerHTML, consider the case of someone moving a video from an iframe to another, or from a window to another
Hixie: you don't want the autoplay to stop working suddenly
...
Hixie: k, i'll file a bug on the spec and get that fixed soon
