@John S. Gruber:
Great find in the Adobe "bugbase"! Thank you!!
Your experience matches mine exactly, and it all seems to be caused by Adobe using SSE2 instructions.
As the initial bug reporter (https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3161034) writes, the flash plugin from Google Chrome works OK when used with Firefox.

I downloaded "google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb" from https://www.google.com/chrome?platform=linux, opened the deb file and then the data.tar.lzma with the archive manager, and finally extracted libgcflashplugin.so from the /./opt/google/chrome/ folder.
Renamed libgcflashplugin.so to libflashplugin.so and placed it in /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin.
For me, this works perfectly with Firefox!
(I'm only able to test the 32-bit version of the flashplugin...)
