RC2 – xmlrpc dropping post content (multisite only)

Reproduced on 3.2.1 and 3.3

When I setup my WP main host, I can post something like this to the blog:
http://vncaudio.com/2011/12/09/test-single-site/ (3.2.1, nginx)
http://ksstorm.com/2011/12/09/wp-3-3-single-site/ (3.3RC2, apache — same behavior under 3.2.1, apache)

The 1pixelout javascript player is being added for the audio clips as it should.

However, after I enable multi-site, the posts look like this:

http://vncaudio.com/2011/12/09/test-after-multi-site-enable/
http://ksstorm.com/2011/12/09/wp-3-3-after-multisite-enable/

The <OBJECT> tag and its contents have been dropped….missing from the database, as well. Adding the multisite xmlrpc plugin does not change it — the OBJECT tag is still dropped.

In each case this is a fresh install with no plugins enabled, twentyeleven theme. Running on Debian Squeeze.
