I have no clue as to what is happening…
I noticed though that this is not limited to application/x-shockwave-flash, it 
reproduces with  quicktime, and presumably with anything that needs a plugin.
And, at least for Quicktime, the border covers the movie (I don't have Flash 
installed on this machine to verify).

As you noted, other media types (image/...,and I tried text/html) work 
correctly. And it seems to work correctly with <embed>
