I haven't seen this myself.  Admittedly, I use Firefox for all my
browsing, but I do have IE7 and I use it for testing pages.  Some of
our sites at work have Flash, and <object> is used.  For example, from
http://www.cyphermint.com/

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="main_assets/main_banner.swf" width="576" height="389"
id="top_banner" >
<param name="movie" value="main_assets/main_banner.swf" /> 
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>

I've never seen a warning for Flash embedded like this.
