Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1a2pre) Gecko/2008080403 Minefield/3.1a2pre

Works for me.

It is a minor bug, because it is only concerning the errors appearing in the error console, and does not affect the workings of the browser as far as I can establish, could be a security feature as well because it prevents cross domain regression. I have Redirect Remover add-on installed (enforced through the Nightly Tester Tools) on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1a2pre) Gecko/2008080504 Minefield/3.1a2pre ID:2008080504 now. 
But it is intriguing to come to know the cause of the error messages. Can anyone shed any light or point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Permission denied to for <http://example.com> to call method XULControllers.getControllerForCommand 
XPCSafeJSObjectWrapper.cpp

It must be calling to something non-existent there, or tackling the bug may
smooth the code out further,

Meant to say that the error is in XPCSafeJSObjectWrapper.cpp on Line: 445

You're probably wasting your time on extension bugs. When I open the console I see a lot of errors too, all caused by extensions. I can reproduce none of them with a new profile.

Thanks for your comment, very welcome, and well you know, you are more than probably right. It cannot be reproduced with a new profile. I can state that from my other account where I also have a similar Minefield running with another profile on the same machine, XP SP3.
The bonus for spending time on it could be that the error occurred in the same place as for bug # 396502 - a core XPConnect TRUNK bug -, and I hope that this hick-up or extension related bug can somehow help to better resolve that one, so I am not going to invest more time into it, and leave it here for those that like to take it into consideration for reference reasons,
