[wp-hackers] Issue with embedding video links?

I saw this posted on a blog I frequent and followed up with them about 
it.
http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2012/12/13/wordpress-3-5-removes-embed-code-from-posts/#dsq-content

Then I did a few tests on WordPress 3.5, with theme - Twenty Eleven, 
and with all other plugins deactivated.

I used the embed code from Youtube:

<iframe width="560" height="315" 
src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cBlRbrB_Gnc" frameborder="0" 
allowfullscreen></iframe>

along with some text before and after in a scheduled post.

When it publishes the embed code gets removed, including the link to 
the video.

I know that using a standard link will work, but should this be 
getting removed, or is it a bug?
