Hi,
I'm encountering exactly the same and would like to add some details.
(Hope this is OK with everybody.)

Any role except admin cannot bulk upload pics, getting a http error. (Before 
upgrading to WP 3.3.2 it had been an error 500)
Zip and sigle upload work fine. Also, creating a gallery works fine for 
everyone.

When I change rights and give admission to "upload files" for that role, flash 
upload works fine. But then, all those users will be able to not only see but 
also edit (and thus also delete) all files in the "Mediathek" (sorry, don't 
know what it's called in English) - the media storage place where all the pics 
used in articles or pages sit. I don't want to give them access there though...
All I need is a Dummy safe frontend uploader/resizer.

I detected your fix for Flash 10 back from 2008 - is there a chance that you 
could find such a solution for now too? Or, putting it differently, is there a 
possibility that the solution could be related to the one used back then?

I am using NextGEN Gallery 1.9.3 on WP 3.3.2 and Firefox 12. SOme of my users 
(subscribers) also tried effortless to upload pics, unfortunately I don't know 
what browsers or flash version they did use. Sorry.

Hope this helps and didn't bother anyone!

Same here, have a big collection of more than 700 pictures to import and must 
figure out how to do it in bulk
