Minefield 3.6a1 segfaults after leaving page with java applet

I'm running Minefield 3.6a1 from the Ubuntu Mozilla Daily ppa, and
it's been stable so far with the sole exception of java applets.

As soon as I leave a page with java content, the browser crashes and
reports a segfault to the terminal. There's no other debug output, but
it's very consistent to java applets, and 100% reproducible with
http://javatester.org/version.html. Just open it and then close its
tab.

This is on a Jaunty system, running Sun's java plugin since the
OpenJDK/Icedtea one doesn't work (other bug;
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/344705).
