Comment(by pde):

 When you close the post, there is a request sent to a URL like
 http://www.youtube.com/embed/htX2usfqMEs, which is rewritten.

 Two things that are different about the request when the YouTube ruleset
 is turned on are (1) it does not have a referrer; (2) it does not have any
 cookies attached to it.

 I'm at a complete loss to explain why (2) is the case, though...
