This bug was just fixed. Please download the latest nightly build from the website. It seems WebKit installed with Safari 3 exposes the correct MIME type for the documents, exposing a bug that was there already sometime but never called.

Thanks for the note - I think opening BibDesk and using New Publication from Web... might be a better workflow to accomplish the same result. But when I try to do this, BibDesk has been crashing (just filed a bug report with full details) - I'm wondering if others have had this problem with Safari 3 ? I never used this feature before upgrading Safari so I can't report on whether it worked in the past.

If you're looking for a drag-and-drop method of importing new items
when the BibDesk window is obscured, keep in mind that you can start
dragging, command-tab to BibDesk while dragging, then drop into your
main bib window.

The reason why the requested behavior would be problematic is because
BibDesk is document-centered; like Word, it can have many documents
open at the same time, and so BibDesk doesn't know what you mean
(which document to add the pubs to) when you drop something on the
icon. Mail, by contrast, isn't, so it can safely assume dropping
something on it means mail that dropped item.

It might be possible to create an Applescript droplet app to do what
you want (open up BibDesk, open your main doc, add publications of
dropped file to main doc), but that might require some wizardry.
