Youtube Video on IE8 (XHTML validation)

I'm using following code to post youtube video in xhtml page.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Testing for Youtube</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:640px; height:390px;" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/wMBbiXP5-lo">
 <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wMBbiXP5-lo"></param>
 <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
 <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
 <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
</object>
</div>
</body>
</html>

and it is perfectly valid at validator.w3.org and working fine on all firefox, chrome and ie9 browser.

But when it comes to ie8 it gives a strange error.

Webpage error details

Can you please suggest why I'm getting this error.
