Maybe it's a feature? Because we all love waiting for large SWF files to load. It's probably not noticeable if you're just looking at plain HTML like HN, but if you're viewing large photo galleries or downloading many large embedded flash files, it probably becomes a problem. So yes, I think this qualifies as a 'nasty bug'.

If your SWF file is over 200k maybe that's a bad idea to start with.
