Thanks for reporting this.

What's happening is that your map status device has an address of
127.0.0.1 and we use the device's address so that you can follow map
status probes across to different servers; Google Earth apparently
doesn't follow relative URLs (i.e., no hostname), which is what we use
to craft such links in the web interface.  We'll use a smarter method in
5.1b2.
