Thanks to Franky for providing a reduced testcase, which helped show the 
culprit (old code dating back to the JSObjectOps.enumerate hook's 
implementation and bugfix cycle -- when was that?  I was working on 
mozilla.org, I believe this was something fur did for LiveConnect3).

Thanks also to Phil for filing bug 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=193393.  I've attached a 
patch there.  Shaver likes the patch, so unless it doesn't test well for 
someone, I'll check it into 1.4alpha when the trunk opens.  Anyone using 
current or RC5-era source, please give the patch a try if you can.
