The time has come to remove the placeholder div (aka The Black Div of Death) from cancelContentPlay(). Content flash before preroll playback in the iOS native player (the original reason for its creation) is evidently less of an issue in later versions of iOS, and this workaround has caused more problems than it has solved. The decision to remove it comes sanctioned by @incompl and @ldayananda.
