--- Comment #1 from Philip Jägenstedt <philipj@opera.com> ---
AFAICT this is working as expected. When using <source> elements, if the error
occurs before reaching readyState HAVE_METADATA will cause the next <source>
element to be tried instead. The error event is queued to be fired later, and
at the time it fires the next source may already be loading, so it would be
strange if HTMLMediaElement.error were not null at that point.

If distinguishing between network errors and decode errors at this point is
important, the required spec change would be to set .error, delay trying the
next source until the error event has been fired, and to set .error back to
null at that point.
