Map surface becomes unresponsive to mouse events in OSX 10.6/Safari.  UI Elements like the zoom & pan controls are still responsive, but the map's general "surface" is no longer clickable or dragable.

What steps will reproduce the problem? Please provide a link to a
demonstration page if at all possible, or attach code.

Authoring:
1. Create a page with two divs that will stack vertically.
2. Write a Flash swf (to test I created a blank swf for the v9 Flash Player) to the top div (using swfobject… or any other embed method)
3. Insert a google map (using Google’s v3 API for Javascript) in the bottom div.

Interaction:
4. Load the page up in your browser…
5. Click and drag the map upwards (so as to reveal more southern content in the map)
6. Once you've moved the map enough, the “hand” cursor turns back to a normal “arrow” cursor.
7. If you release the mouse button at this point, the map "surface" is no longer draggable or clickable.

The map’s other navigation UI elements still work (i.e. you can use the controls to pan & zoom), but the map itself is completely unresponsive to mouse events.

You can use the UI to move the map north again, and actually re-enable mouse events on the map, but as soon as you drag south again, the map surface is once again unresponsive.

What version of the API are you using?
(In the JS API, you can tell this by checking the value of G_API_VERSION.)
JS API v3

What operating system and browser are you using?
OSX 10.6.5 & Safari (OSX 10.6 IS THE ONLY OS VERSION THAT CAN DUPLICATE THIS BUG)
