I don't understand these concerns. Step 4 of the algorithm to be run
when the video element is created or the @poster attribute is set,
changed or removed says:

    Fetch
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/fetching-resources.html#fetch>
    the resulting absolute URL
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/urls.html#absolute-url>,
    from the element's |Document
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/dom.html#document>|'s
    origin
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/origin-0.html#origin>.
    This must delay the load event
    <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-end.html#delay-the-load-event>
    of the element's document.

So once the documented is loaded, the poster, if there is one, will be
available.
