It doesn't happen every single time, but most of the time. I'd say 9 of 10 times.
I've recorded my screen to show you what is happening:

Please notice strange thing that happens:
1. After first Expand Mode and Exit, Autoplay icon blinks. It changes to Pause and Play (I didn't hit any key).
2. After second Expand Mode it blinks one time more. Changes to Pause, then Play and then Pause again, so Autoplay has started this time.
3. After third time with Expand Mode, the icon blinks one more time again. Pause->Play->Pause->Play, so the Autoplay stays off.
4. And so on...
Weird pattern, right? It seems like each time when turning off the Expanded Mode, there is this one extra Autoplay button hit.
Latest Chrome acts almost the same. The difference is that this blinking is not that noticeable. But it also switches on the Autoplay button.
I think it is maybe because both these browsers come from the same WebKit engine.
As I have said earlier, there isn't a problem with latest Firefox.
