Our pal df has solved it.  The error occurs on systems that do not have an
entry for "video/webm" in /etc/mime.types.  Mozilla has some kind of bug
that causes it to throw a misleading error message, which led us off
track.  The mime service *is* initialized, and works for other mime types.
I will be pushing a workaround for this shortly, as well as reporting the
bug to Mozilla.

Thanks to everyone for helping to ferret out this problem.
