wmode in Views plugin and Google Chrome

Using the Views SSP plugin and setting wmode to 'transparent', in the view options, has no effect on the wmode. This only seems to have an effect on Google Chrome (and maybe IE).

Here's the code generated by the SSP Views plugin:

<div class="view-content"> 
      <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="730" height="500" id="loader" align="middle"> 
	               <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> 
	               <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> 
	               <param name="FlashVars" value="paramXMLPath=//?q=ssp_views/user_portfolio/default/YToxOntpOjA7czoxOiIxIjt9/params.xml" /> 
	               <param name="base" value="." /> 
                 <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> 
	               <param name="movie" value="/sites/all/ssp/slideshowpro.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="" />	
                   <embed base="." FlashVars="paramXMLPath=//?q=ssp_views/user_portfolio/default/YToxOntpOjA7czoxOiIxIjt9/params.xml" src="/sites/all/ssp/slideshowpro.swf" quality="best" bgcolor="#1f1f1f" width="730" height="500" name="loader" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /> 
	               </object>    </div>

There seem to be two issues with this:

1. The <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> isn't closed, like the other <param> tags are, so this should be: <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />;
2. The <embed> tag lacks a wmode attribute;

Again, wmode works fine in Firefox, but not Chrome (and probably IE, although I haven't checked it).
