Actually, the error is being caused by the issue mentioned:
http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-dev/browse_thread/thread/aabf160d9980e52d/c74b19cc8c63f996
In SimpleModal, you can get around the issue by adding persist:true :
$('#modalwikivideo').modal({persist:true});
That will prevent SimpleModal from cloning your video object and
prevent the error.
