hinoka@ Thanks for the issue.

Able to reproduce this issue on Windows 10, Mac OS 10.12.6 and Ubuntu 14.04 using the latest Canary 65.0.3324.0 and Stable 63.0.3239.132 by following the steps mentioned in the original comment.

On setting the autoplay flag to user gesture required and navigating to the above given link, can observe that the video is auto playing.
Attached is the screen cast for reference.

This is a non-regression issue as it is observed from M50 Chrome builds. 
Hence, marking it as Untriaged for updates from dev team.

Thanks...

This page appears to do muted autoplay which is always allowed.
