cjbprime's explanation (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5792745) could apply to that one as well; did the iPod Touch 2G have a dedicated GPU chip yet, or was video rendering done on the CPU?
Everything on iOS is sent as a texture and displayed via the GPU. This has been happening since iOS 1 / First iPhone.
Macha is actually reporting the opposite, it worked fine. So if it wasnt doing it on a particular version of iOS it was probably just that they were doing the extra work to hide it then.

You could back when I had an iPod Touch 2G, unless the limitation only applies to iTunes DRMed videos and not your own videos you put on there.
