I'm just guessing here, but perhaps it has to do with whatever function the API is using to grab the domain name (e.g. window.location), and what it is returning. I would imagine that browser implementations may not be consistent when dealing with international domain names.
Presently, for the above link, I get no map or error in Firefox 3.5.3; in IE 6, I get errors that GUnload/GMap2 are not defined.
