Comment(by filosofo):

 It would probably be better to rewrite the logic of the function, which is
 a mess: Allowing an indefinite number and arrangement of arguments;
 assuming the function is a string in one place but checking whether it is
 in another.  None of which is necessary since almost all of the media_*
 functions have a similar argument structure.

 And this is a good example of how having PHP 5 would help make things more
 robust.  You could make the media functions to be objects that implement a
 media interface. Type hinting in wp_iframe would cover the necessary
 check, and then you could use the sub-classed media object to enqueue
 scripts, provide class names, or whatever.
