It's remotely possible this "error" is actually a bug with the flash plugin itself... I may be totally off on this, but the non-descript "NS_ERROR_FAILURE" part is very suspiciously like what is seen in certain browsers as a result of the flash bug mentioned below. That same error text shows up in firefox's logs with every load of a SWF in certain scenarios (like inside iframes, for instance), even though all the flash and page seems to work just fine. so, given that and its similarity to your symptoms, i figured I'd just throw it out there just in case.
