I tested some more, and here is what I found.  The part about isTarget not
being called was actually bogus.  I hadn't known about the kbuildsycoca4 call
you have to make.

Now it does indeed work for the test file mentioned above.  Thanks!  However,
it only works in presentation mode, and not in regular mode (but maybe that's
intentional?).  Also, it does not work if you first go to a slide with an
autostarting movie on it, and only then switch to presentation mode.  You need
to be in presentation mode and then switch to the page with the movie.

Then, I wanted to try this with a pdf created by myself, using LaTeX and beamer
as in the above example.  First I wanted to simply recompile the given example.
 Strangely enough, that one cannot compile at all, because it references an eps
file, which a) is not provided and b) pdflatex won't take eps files anyways. 
So I patched that tex file a little bit, recompiled, and the movie does not
autostart. 

Unfortunately I don't have a Windows machine near me to test whether at least
there the movie autostarts.  I attached my patched tex file instead.
