Isn't this supposed to NOT be possible?

I was on my Vibrant looking for highlights for a soccer game on youtube. When I clicked on a user's channel, the actual youtube flash player loaded. Not the phone's youtube player, but the actual in-page youtube player. That IS flash, right? My phone is still on 2.1, how can this be possible?

This is the channel:
YouTube - Freddyazulful's Channel

I haven't been able to recreate it with any other channels, but I can do it with this one every time.
 
Our phones are preloaded with flash lite 9.1.

Even if you have HTML5 enabled in the options for youtube, it'll still look like the original flash player, but in the bottom right of the player near your resolution selection it will say html5 webm, example: http://i47.tinypic.com/1q51si.jpg

I am not on Firefox 4 beta at the moment, but I have tried it and it does work.
