Enable plug-ins only on demand (Flashblock) doesn't work on KFC.com

I have checked 'Enable plug-ins only on demand' in Opera's settings. However, when I go to KFC.com, the Flash content in the middle of the screen is displayed immediately, instead of a 'play' image/button displayed on it, which should only display the Flash content after I've clicked on the 'Play' image/button.

I am using Opera 11.01 on Windows 7.

I get the same result, and I am using plugin-on-demand with the placeholder with Opera 11.00 on a Mac.

Same for http://kaban.tv/ntv-online
I thought this option will give me a better security (as a built-in feature) rather than extraOPERAstical javascript thing.
I'd like to block Flash not because of annoying ads, but to avoid a possible malicious code. Flash is too vulnerable to enable it for every single site =\

Chrome works like a charm with these sites. I like Opera so much, but this "much" can't cover too much bugs sad
This problem is a third annoying bug in Opera (other two: scrollbar's slider don't moving by the mouse; selection isn't visible until a button released).

You are correct in that 'Enable plug-ins only on demand', supposedly, not only blocks Flash but also all other plug-in content. I used the term 'Flashblock' since 'Enable plug-ins only on demand' is effectively used by many Opera users as a "Flashblock" feature.

Because Opera 12 build 1085 contains an improvement-

CORE-29175 (On demand plug-in doesn't work for Java and embed/object without URL)
Windows 7 SP1 x86 edition and Windows XP Service Pack 3.
If you need any help from me with regards to Opera, please make a comment on any of my blog posts.

I mention this because I use A.Ruzanov's (aka Lex1) - Flashblock for Opera UserJS, and it does block the KFC.com video and displays a placeholder to click and see the video.
