I had the same problem, I'm not sure Christopher correctly diagnosed it.
It looks like in Safari, when a Java applet asks for unrestricted
access (as opposed to standard) it presents you with the security cert
to confirm that you really want it. It says "This certificate is
valid", as opposed to "invalid" or "untrusted" or whatever normally
comes up.
