If the ability to do this is important you, find an alternative means before updating to that version.

I noticed that, too. I can't find a work around in Safari or find a solution with Firefox or Chrome.

I ran into this recently and found a keyboard shortcut posted on Apple discissions. Of course, I am not at my computer presently and cannot think of it off hand. Perhaps someone else will post. If not, I will try to later.

Or you can use Click2Flash and save the trouble of switching sites and installing Java. However, there are plenty of other video sites on the web neither of these options work.

Interesting. It appears this relatively minor change has created a conundrum.
I have done a little light investigation myself but, due to the relative newness of the operating system and it's associated changes, wasn't really finding a lot of information.
I wonder why it was removed.
Will they fix the bug with Safari 5.1.x in Snow Leopard (10.6.8) where it won't block cookies, no matter what how you set the preferences? It's a ridiculous bug. I try each new 5.1 update (on an alternate drive), and every time it's not fixed. I submit a bug report to Apple almost every update.
It doesn't list any new cookies while you're browsing, but when you close Safari and open it again, cookies are there.

? I just looked at my 10.6.8 install of 10.5.4. The only cookies in there are what I would expect. Closed Safari and restarted. Old cookies gone, a few new ones.
