When using google earth in IFrames with facebook apps

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. try to google.earth.createInstance without googleearth plugin  
2.
3.

What is the expected output or behavior? What do you see instead?
I'd expect it to call the failure callback function, but instead, I think
because facebook hides the browser object, i am getting a JS error on line
23 of default.I.js

Which plugin version are you using?
this happens if the plugin is disable

google.load("earth", "1");
google.load("maps", "2.99");  // For JS geocoder

Which browsers and operating systems are affected?
FF IE 6+

Please provide any additional information (code snippets/links) below.
here is line 23 of default.I.js that firebug is saying has the error:

e(a.node),l=a.visibility!=o;a.visibility=o;if(l){a.callbacks._dispatchCallback(h
.VISIBILITY,a)}}};h.prototype.destroy=function(){var
a=this;if(a.f!=-1){clearInterval(a.f)}a.callbacks={}};google.idlglue.NodeObserve
r=h;google.idlglue.NodeObserverCallbacks=f;google.idlglue.getElementRect=c})();w
indow.google.earth.setLanguage=function(b){window.google.earth.d=b};window.googl
e.earth.createInstance=function(b,c,e){var
f=window.google.earth.ErrorCode,h;if(typeof
b=="string"){h=document.getElementById(b)}else{h=b}if(!h){e(f.ERR_INVALID_DIV);r
eturn}var
a="";try{if(google.earth.d){a="intl/"+google.earth.d+"/"}}catch(g){}var
d="http://www.google.com/"+a+"earth/plugin/error.html",j=window.google.earth.h(f
,c,e);window.google.idlglue.create(h,j,d)};window.google.earth.h=function(b,c,e)
{return
function(f){if(f.browser==
