I don't think we can do anything against this, since if a user (like you) has installed Acrobat Reader and has checked "Use Web plugin" (or what the correct wording is) somewhere in the Acrobat preferences, that will override the "default" behavior of the underlying webkit on Mac, which Safari uses, too, to display PDFs "natively".
