ios 5.1 camera shortcut on lock screen bug iPhone 3G

I have the same problem. Just installed iOS 5.1 this afternoon, and found the problem about an hour ago.

New camera icon is displayed on the lock screen, but it doesn't work.

Try clicking on it, and the lock screen moves up a bit, maybe 1/8" and then it drops back down. You can see the a small portion of the camera screen in the 1/8" briefly, but you cannot access the camera at all from the lock screen.

You have to tap the camera icon and then swipe upwards. Video demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khKrHbLxXfc

I was confused, too.
