We were not able reproduce the issue on 2 machines:
OS X 10.5.6
swfobject 2.1 and 2.2 beta
Safari 4 public beta (5528.16)

OS X 10.5.7
swfobject 2.1 and 2.2 beta
Safari 4 public beta

Are you sure that you don't have a corrupt player install?

Using safari 4.0.3.
After selecting the deactivate javascript option and reactivate it in the 
Developpment menu of Safari, plugin 
detection fails for Flash player and other plugins like  Unity3d web player.
For Flash, this link 
http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_1/test_api_getflashplayerv
ersion.html
gives: You have Flash Player 0.0.0 installed.
