There are a few problems here as I see it:

1) It is incorrect per the spec to allow <embed> resources to load as subframes. Only <object> elements should be allowed to load as a subframe.
2) We don't handle well the case where we don't know if an <embed> or <object> resource should load in a plug-in up front. Currently we handle this case by going down the subframe loading path, then creating a plug-in document once we get a MIME type from the response. It'd be better if we just created the plug-in at this point instead of doing the plugin-inside-iframe thing we currently do.

So I think there are really two bugs here.
