Better to set the h/w acceleration option to off by default with openSUSE12.2 than to include an outdated Flash player.
As noted, the bug doesn't happen with nouveau, which is what 12.2 has as default for nVidia, so people that encounter the bug should definitely make the connection to the binary driver they just installed.
Many people update the system from previous releases as I do rather than install anew. They will just notice that something that worked well became broken. For me for example it became broken when I installed the new flash plugin from the updates repository. Any connection to nvidia drivers is unevident in this case. But even is such connection is established, switching to noveau is not an option because it has no 3D acceleration which is required by many games and other software.
Killing h/w accel by default would be bad, IMO. It would hurt everyone else, too, not just nVidia users.
