So far i haven't seen that misbehavior (using MacOS 10.6.8, Safari 5.1.2, Flash Player 11.1.102.55 and ClickToFlash 2.5.6)

Does that happen with every YouTube link, or most, or?

Does the preview image (if there is a preview image) have the play button (a right-pointing arrow)?

There has been a history of facebook/youtube problems with respect to the play button which i have experienced myself sometimes (seemingly randomly), when posting links. [[e.g., no play button, no preview and/or a Captcha instead of either.]] But those issues seemed to go away once i adopted youtube's shorter URLs (replacing the "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" part with "http://youtu.be/").
