http://johndrinkwater.name/examples/webgl/minecraft/ uses a @font-face called Munro.ttf from http://www.tenbytwenty.com/munro.php

Os and os are rendered filled in on a Friends’ Mac Firefox/4.0b12pre, see URL for a screenshot.

I see the same thing if I just open that font in Font Book on Mac (or in the Finder preview for the TTF file).  In particular, the interiors of 'O', '0', and 'o' are filled in, as is the top circle in '8'.

Oh, and Safari on Mac renders the minecraft page above just like we do.  So does Chrome on MAc.

I do NOT see this behavior with gnome-font-viewer for the same exact file.

So this seems to be Mac-specific for some reason, but not specific to Firefox on Mac.

Indeed; it looks like a bug in the Apple TrueType rasterizer. Closing this as "invalid", as it's not a mozilla bug, but filed rdar://9058279 to report this to Apple.
