Summary:

Going fullscreen on an MPMoviePlayerController causes the parent's viewDidDisappear:animated and viewWillDisappear:animated to trigger on iOS 6 on the iPad.

Steps to Reproduce:

1) In a view controller, create a MPMoviePlayerController and place it on screen.  
2) Implement viewWillDisappear:animated on the view controller with a NSLog to show evidence of the method firing.  
3) Run the app, make the video go full screen.  

The event is triggered.

Expected Results:

View controller should not report that its view has disappeared.

Actual Results:

viewWillDisappear:animated and viewDidDisappear:animated methods are fired when MPMoviePlayerController goes to full screen.

Regression:

In iOS 5 and below, this does not seem to happen.  

Notes:

Have been using a combination of the view disappearance methods and MPMoviePlayerController fullscreen boolean to work around the problem, as described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12604825/entering-full-screen-in-mpmovieplayercontroller-calls-viewwilldisappear-and-view
