Immediately after I posted my question, I saw the tail end of the other
thread which seems to be the same exact thing.

Only a little.  We're on Flash 8, though.  My initial theory is that
somehow the Flash player is somehow confusing the two Flash animations.

It doesn't do that with object tags.  But interestingly enough, I created a
page where the same flash is embedded twice, once with <object> tags then
again with SWFObject.  When this happens, the jumping appears with both the
<object> versions as well as the SWFObject.

No, actually my sample stripped out another div tag that sectioned this
Flash into another section fo the page.  I've also played around with
putting them into tables with the same effect.
