The problem seems pretty unusual, and sounds more like a direct browser issue that that of swfobject (remember what swfobject ends up doing after execution is writing an <object> tag to the page, but it is the browser which goes and requests the url for the swf)
Are you doing anything funky with XHR (Ajax) to get the swf location or data, or is you page just static markup. As Sam said, seeing the page could help identify any possible directions to follow.
