I'm also getting this problem.
It's happening in the ASP.NET AJAX libraries, in particular when
working with Silverlight 2 beta 2.
Because I'm performing a partial-page postback and a Silverlight
control is being added to the page dynamically at that point, the
Silverlight.js files must be getting loaded using the same dynamic JS
linkage you describe. This is a feature of ASP.NET AJAX allowing
scripts to be automatically loaded when required. At this point I see
the error and the Silverlight object completely fails to load.
FCKeditor is failing in the same fashion.
Obviously both are fine if they appear on the page when it's first
loaded - but this isn't always the case.
Seems to be a pretty serious problem affecting a variety of JS
libraries.
