>From Section 4.8.3:

"The type attribute, if present, gives the MIME type by which the plugin to instantiate is selected. The value must be a valid MIME type. If both the type attribute and the src attribute are present, then the type attribute must specify the same type as the explicit Content-Type metadata of the resource given by the src attribute."

This indicates that Safari is correct (per the spec) in not loading a plug-in for the test case, since the .swf resource has a Content-Type of 'application/x-shockwave-flash' which doesn't match the specified type attribute.
