With respect to "how often"... tens of thousands of sites use swfobject for
multiple flash embeds. And I'd bet a healthy amount of them have flash
widgets side by side (or stacked) like you do.
Not sure exactly why it's happening... but... you might try setting your
objects to display:block, like this:
object {display:block}
in your page's CSS.
I wonder if that will fix the issue.
