I haven't try your code yet.
But I suspected that it might be due to a bug on Gnash's JavaScript interface.
(Call from JavaScript -> Flash didn't work: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?37223)

Thus, when you enabled Gnash, Youtube API tries to call into Gnash,
and failed silently.

When you disabled Gnash, Youtube API falls back to JavaScript/HTML5 player
(which didn't have this problem), thus succeeded.

I was using Mozilla 23 with Gnash 0.8.10 and it interferes with event handling.

I confirmed this problem by disabling the plug-in (Gnash) and event handling worked as expected. Here is a sample standalone code page.

<html>
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var player;

function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
    player = new YT.Player('player', {
        events: {
            'onReady': onPlayerReady
        }
    });
}

function onPlayerReady(event) {
    $('#result').text('LOADED');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<iframe width="560" height="315" id="player" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/M7lc1UVf-VE?rel=0&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

<h3 id="result">NOT LOADED</h3>
<script src="//www.youtube.com/iframe_api"></script>
</body>
</html> 



With Gnash enabled, the previous page never triggers the event which changes the HTML title to "LOADED". If you disable Gnash then the JS event works as expected. I tested this same page across different browsers on Linux and Windows and it always works. Gnash is clearly doing something that interferes with event triggering.
