My suspicion is that it's not going to be "fixed" in Jaunty, as it's far too dangerous to force GPU acceleration of the Flash plugin on all systems. Most open-source drivers have flaky OpenGL acceleration at the moment.

Read the original post I linked, and this page as well: http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2008/05/flash_uses_the_gpu.html

In a nutshell: Flash GPU acceleration doesn't mix well with compiz, and it doesn't work for every kind of Flash content in the wild.
