failureCallback (in createInstance) isn't called, exception thrown instead

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. try to google.earth.createInstance without google earth 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 am
getting a JS error on line
23 of default.I.js you can see this on http://code.google.com/apis/earth/

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 f is null and here
is the line it says it 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

Fix was submitted, should be live in a few hours (no plugin update required).
