Firefox 'solves' this by only loading tabs that have been given the focus upon auto-restart. So, if you have 10 tabs opened, and your computer restarts and Firefox is opened, the only tab that will actually load is the one that was last active.
Unfortunately, this doesn't help for sites that use HTML5 for media. As more sites start using HTML5, I think demand for a ClickToHTML5 option/extension will rise.
Good bug to address but who allows Windows to power itself up and install updates unsupervised? Not a good idea.
Not too much of a problem for me since I'm up at 3:00AM anyway. In fact, it's 3:09AM right now.
I run into similar situations whenever I restart my browser. All of the YouTube tabs I had open from before start playing simultaneously (at any given time I often have some tabs with videos paused, ready for me to watch later).

One sort-of-workaround is to enable plugin click-to-play. It's less convenient, but it has other advantages. It prevents Flash content from annoying you unexpectedly (such as on every band website ever). It also adds a small bit of safety if there's ever a 0-day for Flash. Instead of getting exploited as soon as you visit any infected page, you'd at least have to click on an embed that you wanted to watch or play. Un…
