Comment (by designsimply):

 I think users tend to copy out the URL from the Share > Embed section on
 YouTube pages, and that's what gets them confused (it gets reported from
 time to time in WP.com support which is why I created this ticket).

 Aside: the long version of youtube.com mobile URLs have the same problem.
 If you are on a mobile device such as an iPad and copy the URL directly
 from a YouTube page, the link will not auto embed. Example link:

 *
 http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=tgbNymZ7vqY&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DtgbNymZ7vqY

 In contrast, auto embeds for the short version of mobile URLs worked fine
 in my tests:

 * http://youtu.be/tgbNymZ7vqY

 Tested with WP trunk r24579 on Bluehost + Twenty Thirteen theme.

 To fix both the "/embed/" URL and the mobile URL issues, could the unique
 identifier (such as "tgbNymZ7vqY") be pulled out and then used in whatever
 oEmbed URL structure is supported?
