Applet not compatible with new plugin

I have an applet which works fine with the plugin version 1.6.0_10 in classic mode, but not in next-generation mode. The page is written in XHTML, using <object> tags following the W3C standard, and uses LiveConnect to communicate with JavaScript. The JavaScript fails at the first call to a method defined in the applet. Also, even though I have the Java console configured to appear whenever an applet runs, it does not appear for this page, so I have no evidence that the applet is actually initializing. I know the security model for LiveConnect has changed, but it is also supposed to be backwards compatible. Is there something I need to change in the <object> tag attributes or in the JavaScript to get this applet working in the next-generation plugin mode?
Here is the URL for the applet page:
http://cs.jsu.edu/~leathrum/mathtrans/mathtrans.xml
(View source for the page to see the JavaScript and the <object> tag.)

I have a more compact example showing the same problem -- so, among other things, I can show that the problem is easily reproducible. The problem seems to stem from using the <object> tag for embedding an applet in an XHTML page -- using the <applet> tag in HTML is not a problem. Also, even with XHTML and the <object> tag, the applet works fine with plug-in version 1.6.0_07, but not with 1.6.0_10. I am getting this problem viewing the page with Firefox 3.0.4 under Vista with SP1 installed (I have not tried other browsers yet).
Here is the link to the new example:
http://cs.jsu.edu/~leathrum/mini-test/
Source for XHTML and Java are both included on the page.

I don't work for Sun, but I recommend you file a bug report to get this formalized: http://bugs.sun.com/

Turns out the bug is a duplicate of one already submitted, number 6773257, but the fix won't be included until Update 12. (I saw that Update 11 is in beta test, I don't know when to expect Update 12.) Here is the link for the other bug report:
