I just moved xl.so (my renamed libflashplayer.so) back to /usr/local/mozilla/plugins from the new directory an sure enough: I have Flash again.
I noticed the same thing about renaming--I tried several different
schemes. When I typed about:plugins in the address bar, I would get
whatever I named it as the Flash and Shockwave plugins--weird, I
thought. Like you, I ended up moving them to another directory (out of
plugins), and that finally worked.
The more I think about it, it makes more sense to just keep a copy of
libflashplayer.so and ShockwaveFlash.class in one place, and copy it to
your plugins when you want to use it, and remove it when you don't want
it. That would work if you used several browsers or wanted it to work
across several user accounts.
I'm still scratching my head over why renaming doesn't work.

I did a ls -i on xl.so and got an inode number of 158648. I then changed the name to the original libflashplayer.so and did ls -i and the inode number is the same, 158648. Apparently this is a hard link and just changing the name does not matter. Does this make sense?
