I am seeing this with the latest 0.9+ branch builds on Windows and Mac. But this
is Flash 6. The flash animation isn't "closing" as it would on Netscape or IE. 
Also the expand/close button for the ad doesn't have any affect.

I installed the latest Flash plugin (7.0 r24) on Mac and it still fails to close
the ad.

Check that.  The page is just loading super slow.  Once the page finished
loading the add closed as expected.  Also installed the latest Flash on Windows
and it works as well.

Try upgrading to Flash 7.

Marking wfm.

This does work on Windows with Flash 7 but still not completely correct on Mac.
But Safari and Netscape on Mac with Flash 7 are failing to close this add
correctly as well.
