Attaching the patch for posterity. Should be ready to land once weakmaps do the right thing in the wrapper case.

I don't know if this bug or the other bug is the place to discuss that, but basically the problem is that only native classes that are wrapper caches that preserve their wrapper can be used as weak map keys.

The warning in question is at this line:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/js/src/jsweakmap.cpp#292

The actual callback function is here:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/js/xpconnect/src/XPCJSRuntime.cpp#1996

Notice that we don't actually allow all wrapper cache classes as weak map keys.  This is because there are some wrapper caches that don't preserve their wrapper. Right now, we only allow nsINodes because that seemed like the most common thing people would use.
