This happens because the <source> element has no 'src' attribute, and step 2 of the section on using the source element says (http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/media-elements.html#loading-the-media-resource):

    Process candidate: If candidate does not have a src attribute, or if its src 
    attribute's value is the empty string, then end the synchronous section, 
    and jump down to the failed step below.

and the "failed" step says:

    Failed: Queue a task to fire a simple event named error at the candidate element

Sometimes yes, and sometimes no - I am not sure there is a general "good practice" here.
