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.
