I can confirm this bug, also on an amd64 architecture.

When starting iceweasel from within a konsole i get an quit similar output 
when visiting a website with an java applet. 
I guess it could be a problem of a pathname. The output shows, that there is a 
fifo created in ~/.gcjwebplugin/ but then there is an unsuccessfully try to 
access  ~/.icedteaplugin/ .

Solution for me was to remove and purge all experimental openjdk-6 stuff 
(openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jre-headless openjdk-6-jre-lib, including icedtea-
gcjwebplugin and then reinstall icedtea-gcjwebplugin from unstable with it's 
dependencies.

Cheers Andreas
