I'm still seeing this behaviour on 1.6.0 - it's quite frustrating because there's no way to tell whether an attempt to play a movie was successful or not (i.e. the movie file exists, but for some reason iOS can't play it). This can cause usability problems, since the movie controls don't display until the movie has started; if the movie fails to play the user is effectively locked out of the application, as there is no way to return to the previous screen.
Changing ticket to feature request; docs indicate that "preload" is not available on iOS. We may not be able to offer it due to the way that the media player behaves.
