It does not change with mechanical advance, because all mechanical advance does is change the relationship between the engine and the rotor. The rotor to reluctor relationship does not change, so the rotor phasing doesn't change either.

I figured that video was displaying a timing retard active through an ignition box, glad it was confirmed. It is electronically changing when the coil is commanded vs. the reluctor (and rotor) position.
