Confirmed. HTML5 spec says: "The type of the content being embedded is defined as follows: 1. If the element has a type attribute, then the value of the type attribute is the content's type. 2. Otherwise, if the <path> component of the URL of the specified resource matches a pattern that a plugin supports, then the content's type is the type that that plugin can handle."

Mass closing plug-in bugs, as plug-in support has been removed from WebKit. Please comment and/or reopen if this still affects WebKit in some way.
