I can confirm on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101115 Firefox/4.0b8pre ID:20101115042202 and Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101115 Firefox/4.0b8pre ID:20101115031317 If I set "general.useragent.override" to "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.12 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/9.0.574.0 Safari/534.12", then these site works properly. Maybe Tech Evangelism.

Filed an OpenLayers bug: http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/ticket/2933
I've been advised that only the multi-file version of OpenLayers is broken. The preferred solution is using the single-file version. The multi-file version will be fixed in the next release (2.11) which is expected to be released "in a month or two".
I verified that this is now part of the stable OpenLayers release.
